Working with Deny Intervals

A deny interval is a block of time during which scans are not permitted. ScanCentral DAST will not prevent you from scheduling a scan or attempting to start a scan manually during a blackout period. It will, however, place the job in the pending job queue and will start the scan when the deny interval ends.

Similarly, if a scan is running when a deny interval begins, the ScanCentral DAST will do one of the following:

• Pause the scan and finish it when the deny interval ends

• Force the scan to complete

Deny Intervals Apply to Applications

Deny intervals are applied to one or more applications. However, an application can have only one deny interval. If you create and apply a deny interval to an application with an existing deny interval, the existing deny interval is overwritten with the new one.

Deny Intervals are Global Settings

Global settings are those that apply or may apply to all of your applications, scans, scan schedules, sensors, or sensor pools. For example, all scans that are running when a deny interval starts may be paused or forced to complete, depending on the deny interval settings.
