In cyber security, timing matters.
When scans run, when data syncs, when tools update.
These aren’t background technical details. They directly impact your visibility, your reporting accuracy, and ultimately, your security posture.
That’s why we’ve introduced the Schedules screen in CybaOps: a powerful capability designed to give you full transparency and control over the third-party tools and scanning engines that power your security operations.
What Is the Schedules Screen?
Schedules allows you to view and manage all background synchronisation and scanning activity across your connected tools and services.
Depending on your licence and configured connectors, this may include:
- Domain scanning
- Internal and external vulnerability scanning
- MDR and security connectors such as Microsoft Sentinel, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Sophos, and more
The schedules visible in your tenancy reflect the tools you’ve chosen to connect. If you haven’t enabled certain connectors, they won’t appear, giving you clarity and control based entirely on your environment.
Why Transparency Matters in Cyber Security
Most security platforms run third-party integrations and background scans silently.
If something fails, you often don’t know:
- When the last successful sync occurred
- Whether data is current
- If a vendor issue is affecting visibility
- When the next update is due
CybaOps takes a different approach.
We believe transparency builds trust. When we rely on third-party tools to present data, you deserve visibility into when that data was last synchronised and whether it’s flowing as expected.
The Schedules screen clearly shows:
- Status – A live health indicator
- Status message – Direct feedback from the third-party tool if something is wrong
- Last run – When data was last synchronised
- Next run – When the next sync is scheduled
This level of openness is essential for organisations that take security seriously.
Clear, Actionable Status Indicators
Each schedule includes a clear status to help you understand exactly what’s happening
- New – A brand new connection
- Stable – Running as expected
- Queued – About to run (within the next 60s)
- Late – Delayed but expected to recover
- Failing – Unable to run, with a supporting status message
If a schedule fails, both your team and ours are aware. Our team receives alerts and begins remediation immediately, while you retain full visibility into the issue.
No black boxes. No guesswork.
Flexibility That Works for You: The Power to “Bump”
Transparency is only half the story.
The Schedules screen doesn’t just show you what’s happenin, it gives you control.
From the action menu next to each schedule, you can select “Bump”, which triggers the schedule to run within 15 minutes instead of waiting for its next planned execution.
This is where the feature becomes particularly powerful.
Practical use cases:
- You’ve just remediated a number of vulnerabilities, and your next scheduled scan isn’t for another 24 hours
- You’ve onboarded a new connector and want fresh data now
- You suspect an issue and want to validate in real time
Instead of waiting hours for the next cycle, you bring the schedule forward.
This flexibility transforms scanning from a passive background process into an active operational tool.
Why This Is a Powerful Capability
Cyber Security isn’t static.
Threats evolve. Patches are deployed. Configurations change. Incidents happen.
Having visibility into your scanning cadence — and the ability to accelerate it — means:
- Faster validation after remediation
- More accurate reporting
- Reduced uncertainty
- Improved operational confidence
- Stronger conversations with stakeholders and clients
Most platforms treat scanning schedules as fixed system settings.
CybaOps treats them as part of your operational toolkit.
Built for Trust
We are committed to providing a transparent service. When third-party data becomes unavailable — whether due to an issue on our side or with a vendor — you can see it.
That transparency strengthens trust.
And when combined with the ability to bring schedules forward on demand, it gives you a level of operational control that is rare in the industry.
Take Control of Your Security Operations
The Schedules screen isn’t just a dashboard enhancement. It’s a shift in how security platforms should operate:
- Transparent
- Accountable
- Flexible
- Built around the needs of real security teams
