Creating a New Scan Policy
A scan policy is a set of settings for web application security scans that determines the security tests to be conducted when initiating a scan. You can choose pre-defined policies, customize them based on your target's characteristics, or create new ones from scratch. Additionally, you can share policies within a group or duplicate them from existing configurations.
