wvs policy

wvs policy

Use this command to define a web vulnerability scan policy. The policy enables you to set the frequency of the vulnerability scan, schedule the scan, and choose a format for the scan report. The policy also enables you to select an email policy that determines who receives the scan report.

Before you can complete a web vulnerability scan policy, you must first configure a scan profile using the FortiWeb web UI and a scan schedule using either the web UI or the command wvs schedule.

To use this command, your administrator account’s access control profile must have either w or rw permission to the wvsgrp area. For details, see Permissions.

set type {runonce | schedule}
