How often can I use your free scanning service? How often should I scan my SBC?

At this point we have no limitations on the number of SBCs you can scan for free or the number of times an SBC can be scanned (for free). 

We recommend a scan frequency of 1 day to 30 days.

If an SBC is used for remote worker deployments and / or if it is part of a call center or performs critical business function, then it is recommended to scan it daily. For SBCs that have limited exposure or is less critical, once a month scan should suffice.
