📌 Overview
Once CYRISMA agents are deployed on endpoints, they are automatically added to the Default Vulnerability Scan. This scan is preconfigured to ensure every new device starts receiving risk insights immediately—no manual scheduling needed.
By default, this scan is set to run weekly (every Monday at 9:00 AM), but it can be customized to support daily or even continuous scanning, depending on your needs.
Key Behavior
📆 Default Frequency: Weekly on Mondays at 9:00 AM.
🔄 Editable Options:
