    • Click ‘Save Project’ to apply your settings.

    • (Optional) Enable the “Ignore Missing Assets?” option.

Info

“Ignore Missing Assets?” - This option instructs the Dynamic Remediation (DR) process to ignore missing assets when comparing assets between the latest scan and the previous scan.  The option was introduced to address situations where the accessibility of certain asset types (particularly client laptops/workstations) changes at the time of each network scan - i.e. for the scan, some assets are joined to the network and accessible, whilst others may have left the network and are inaccessible (to the network scanner).

  1. Dynamic Remediation with Human Intervention:

    • Upon closing a subsequent scan, the Platform provides a detailed comparison report between the latest and previous scans.

    • The report highlights missing hosts, changes in ports, and potential issues for automatic remediation.

    • Users have options to cancel, complete without remediation, or complete and remediate based on the report.

  2. Dynamic Remediation without Human Intervention - Fully Automated:

    • The Platform offers a fully automated approach, ideal for large digital estates.

    • This setting autonomously compares and remediates issues based on scan differences, enhancing efficiency and security.

    • When applying this setting, the user has the option to set a delta tolerance level. a setting that enhances control over automated dynamic remediation actions. This feature is designed to prevent incorrect or premature Auto DR actions caused by problematic scan imports, such as those with the wrong scope or incomplete data. Key points:

      • Configurable Change Threshold: Users can now set a specific Delta Tolerance Level for detected changes within the Auto DR calculation. If the amount of changes exceeds the predefined percentage (ranging from 10% to 90%), the scan will require human intervention.

      • Safeguard Against Erroneous Auto DR: This new setting acts as a safeguard, ensuring that significant changes detected in a scan are verified by a human before any remediation is applied.

      • Notification System: When the threshold is triggered, the system will send both an email and an in-platform notification to all users with access to the project, alerting them that the scan requires review.
