When should recommendation scans be scheduled after new rule releases?

Scheduling recommendation scans immediately after new rule releases is essential for maintaining optimal security posture. When a new rule is released, it often includes important updates that can enhance threat detection and prevention capabilities. By conducting a scan right away, you can ensure that your security policies are up-to-date with the latest threat intelligence and can immediately take advantage of the protections these new rules offer.

Delaying scans for an extended period, such as for a few days or a week, increases the window of vulnerability, as the system could be exposed to newly identified threats that the updated rules are designed to mitigate. Therefore, initiating a scan without delay ensures that the environment is assessed rapidly for compliance with the new rules, potentially preventing exploitation by any emerging threats that the updates aim to address.
