Types of Scans
This table lists and explains the various types of scans available in Acunetix 360.
Field | Description |
Full Scans | Full Scans (the default ones) scan every area of your website. For further information, see Creating a New Scan. |
Scheduled Scans | Scheduled Scans are Full or Incremental Scans that do not take place immediately but at a set time in the future, and possibly on a recurring basis. You can schedule individual or group scans. For further information, see Scheduling Scans. |
Group Scans | Group scans are scans that are run in for those Website Groups that have been created in Acunetix 360. For further information, see How to Run a Group Scan in Acunetix 360, and How to Create a Scheduled Group Scan in Acunetix 360. |
Incremental Scans | Incremental Scans begin over already-completed Full Scans, but they only attack newly introduced, and amended, pages since the initial scan. Neither running nor cancelled scans can be used as a base for an Incremental Scan; the initial scan must first be completed. For further information, see How to Run an Incremental Scan in Acunetix 360. |
Retests | Retests scan the discovered vulnerabilities, not the entire website. For further information, see How to Run a Retest in Acunetix 360. |
