How are platform, software, and vulnerability tests updated?

Holm Security VMP

Cloud deployment

New versions are released on average once every month. During this period, the system may be unreachable when the new version is applied. 

Scans are normally not affected and continue to run during the update. Under certain circumstances, the scans may be paused when the release is being applied and then continue to run when the release is completed.

The time it takes to perform the release can vary but typically takes between 10-40 minutes.

Vulnerability test updates

System & Network Scanning and Web Application Scanning

The system is updating the signatures to identify vulnerabilities on a daily basis.

This is done to make sure that we are scanning for the most recent vulnerabilities that are known so you, as a customer, can identify these as quickly as possible.

During this update, the scans that are currently running may be paused for a few minutes. Once the updates are completed, the scans will continue to run.

The time the daily update is running depends on the location of the system data center. 
In the European data center in Stockholm, Sweden, the update starts at 6 a.m. (GMT+2)
