How can Security Center users optimize scanning performance?

Optimizing scanning performance in Tenable Security Center involves strategically managing the configuration and execution of scans to make them more efficient. Adjusting scan schedules and utilizing asset discovery features allows users to fine-tune how and when scans are conducted. By limiting the scope of scans, such as focusing on specific networks or asset groups, users can reduce the overall load on the system and decrease the time it takes to complete scans.

Scan scheduling is also crucial, as choosing optimal times for scans can minimize the impact on network performance. For example, scheduling scans during off-peak hours can prevent disruption during high traffic times. Asset discovery features help users identify and categorize assets more effectively, ensuring that scans target the most relevant systems and avoid redundant checks.

This practice not only enhances overall performance but also allows for more timely and accurate vulnerability assessments, ensuring that the organization remains secure while maximizing resource utilization.
