Choosing the scan type

Prev Next

The type of scan you configure determines the amount of information retrieved in a scan, the actions taken during the scan, and the configuration needed for the scan.

  • Classification scans retrieve metadata, analyze files, and match policy classifications that you define.

  • Remediation scans include classification scan analysis and can enforce rules on files.

The policy components you must configure depend on the scan type.
