Scanning entities regularly will ensure that all configurations and patches are up to date. Some technologies have a high number of vulnerabilities, with new ones reported frequently to the NVD. You can mark a technology 'Of Interest' to track vulnerabilities that are imported through scanners or data feeds. Marking a technology 'Of Interest' will help you understand how often a technology has been affected by threats in the past. In the Threat and Vulnerability manager, the Recent Vulnerabilities of Interest report lists vulnerabilities that were modified in the NVD over a period of one year.
