How do I schedule assessments for multiple web assets?

When assessing multiple web applications, it is recommended to schedule each scan with a small delay, preferably one application per hour. This ensures optimal performance and reduces the risk of overloading servers.

If you are creating a schedule for the first time, see:

Best practice: Do not scan multiple web applications on the same server

Scanning multiple web applications on the same server simultaneously is not recommended, as it can affect assessment accuracy and server performance.

Example: Scheduling multiple scans

Suppose you have five web applications you want to scan overnight. Each application runs on a different server.

  1. Log in to your Security Center.

  2. In the main navigation bar, hover over Assessments.

  3. From the dropdown menu, select Schedules.

  4. Select Web from the dropdown menu.

  5. Click + Add scan schedule.

  6. Schedule the first assessment at 22:00 for web application no. 1 (the main site) and click OK to save.

  7. Schedule web application no. 2 to start 2 hours later at 00:00.

  8. Schedule web application no. 3 at 02:00.

  9. Schedule web application no. 4 at 04:00.

  10. Schedule web application no. 5 at 06:00.

  11. Optionally, configure notifications to receive alerts when each assessment completes.

By scheduling assessment in this staggered manner, you avoid overloading the servers while ensuring all web applications are assessed.
