Various embodiments include systems and methods of implementing automated assessment scheduling. A set of scheduling parameters may be received, including at least a frequency corresponding to how often assessments are to be completed via a particular automated assessment and a type of assessment to perform in the particular automated assessment. Based at least in part on the set of scheduling parameters, an assessment configuration may be generated. The assessment configuration includes a set of attributes defining how the particular automated assessment is to be performed. At least one scan engine resource of a set of scan engine resources may be identified for utilization in the particular automated assessment. Based at least in part on the assessment configuration and using the at least one scan engine resource, the particular automated assessment may be automatically initiated.

Automated assessment scheduling

Various embodiments include systems and methods of automated scan engine assignment. Responsive to determining to initiate a scan of a target asset, a scan engine assignment strategy may be determined for automatically assigning one or more scan engines to perform the scan. Determining the scan engine assignment strategy may include implementing a strategy selection scheme that defines a hierarchy of scan engine assignment strategies, which may include at least one of a passive discovery strategy, an active discovery strategy, or a scan engine subnet strategy. Using the scan engine assignment strategy, the one or more scan engines may be automatically assigned to perform the scan. The scan may be performed using the one or more scan engines.

Automated scan engine assignment

Various embodiments include systems and methods of implementing automated assessment scheduling. A particular automated assessment may be automatically performed based at least in part on an assessment configuration and scan engine resource(s) of an organization. Based at least in part on performance of the particular automated assessment, a scan engine utilization assessment may be performed to determine a scan engine utilization value that represents utilization of the scan engine resource(s) with respect to resource requirements that are based at least in part on the set of attributes of the assessment configuration. Based at least in part on the scan engine utilization assessment, a particular resource utilization recommendation may be generated. The particular resource utilization recommendation may correspond to a first resource utilization recommendation to allocate additional scan engine resources or a second resource utilization recommendation to allocate fewer scan engine resources.

Methods and systems for reviewing software code. The methods involve detecting a change in source code associated with an application and determining an effect on the application of the detected change based at least in part on a context profile associated with application.

Software code review

Systems and methods are disclosed to implement a machine scanning system that stores machine access credentials in a distributed fashion in a pool of scanner nodes. In embodiments, a storage manager node is selected from the pool to manage the storage of each new credential. The storage manager partitions the credential into portions and distributes the portions among the nodes, which may store the portions under different encryptions. A credential storage metadata is updated to indicate portion assignments and also distributed. At scanning time, the node selected to perform the scan uses the credential storage metadata to gather the portions and reconstruct the credential. In embodiments, the portions may be assigned so that no single node holds all portions of the credential, and at least two nodes hold each portion. Advantageously, the disclosed storage scheme enhances the security and availability of access credentials used by the machine scanning system.
