You can schedule regular Nmap scans of targets on your network. Automated scans allow you to refresh 
information previously supplied by an Nmap scan. Because the FireSIGHT System cannot update 
Nmap-supplied data, you need to rescan periodically to keep that data up to date. You can also schedule 
scans to automatically test for unidentified applications or servers on hosts in your network. See the 
following sections for more information:

Note that a Discovery Administrator can also use an Nmap scan as a remediation. For example, when an 
operating system conflict occurs on a host, that conflict may trigger an Nmap scan. Running the scan 
obtains updated operating system information for the host, which resolves the conflict. For more 
information, see 

FireSIGHT

If you have not used the Nmap scanning capability before, you must complete several Nmap 
configuration steps before defining a scheduled scan. See the following sections for more information:

You can schedule a scan of a host or hosts on your network using the Nmap utility. 

After Nmap replaces a host’s operating system, applications, or servers detected by the system with the 
results from an Nmap scan, the system no longer updates the information replaced by Nmap for the host. 
Nmap-supplied service and operating system data remains static until you run another Nmap scan. If you 
plan to scan a host using Nmap, you may want to set up regularly scheduled scans to keep Nmap-supplied
