Schedule a scan

Schedule a DAST scan by defining when it runs and how often it runs for the selected target. Set the frequency, duration, and start time to automate recurring scans. This ensures scans run consistently according to your preferred schedule. You can also start a manual scan.

To configure a schedule with the REST API, see DAST REST API.
