In Nebula, you have the ability to manually scan your devices to detect and remove potential threats. Scans ensure your endpoints remain secure and free of malware. You can also scan your endpoints to collect hardware information and a list of installed software applications. This keeps Nebula updated with the latest information regarding your devices.
These scans can be configured to run automatically on your endpoints at a specific date and time with scheduled scans. We've created 4 scheduled scans for you which can be viewed on the Configure > Schedules page.
Default scheduled scans
Below is a list of the provided scans. You may need to update these based on the needs of your environment.
| Scan Name & Description | Recommendations |
| Daily Threat Scan (Workstation): Checks common locations for malicious files on devices in the Default Group. |
|
| Daily Threat Scan (Server): Checks common locations for malicious files on your servers. It's not configured for any groups yet because you need to select your groups of servers. |
|
| Weekly Full Scan: Checks all folders for malicious files on devices in the Default Group. |
|
| Weekly Software Inventory & Vulnerability Scan: Updates the installed software list and asset information of your devices in the Default Group. Also checks for software vulnerabilities. |
