Chapter 5. Background scanning in SiteProtector

This chapter describes the minimum requirements and options for defining

background scanning in the SiteProtector Console. Because ad hoc scans use some

of the background policies, this chapter also describes the impact of those shared

policies on ad hoc scans. In addition, checklists in this chapter guide you through

the process of setting up background scans.
