The “Basic” tab contains basic scan policy settings and allows the user to load a predefined scan policy template. The
“Load Policy Template” option is a command button located in the upper right-hand corner of the “Basic” tab page and
allows the user to load scan policy options based on a variety of predefined scan policy templates. Available templates
include: “Web Safe Scan”, “FTP Safe Scan”, “SMTP Safe Scan”, “Cisco Safe Scan”, “Full Safe Scan – All Ports”, “Full
Safe Scan – Common Ports”, “Microsoft Scan”, “PCI DSS Scan”, “Topology Scan”, “Peer-To-Peer Scan”, “Virus Check
Scan”, “Operating System Identification”, “Patch Audit and Local Security Checks”, and “Netstat Port Scan”. These
templates use optimized plugin and configuration settings for their specified scan type.
