Set scheduled scans in Malwarebytes Nebula

Malwarebytes Nebula can run automated scans on your endpoints on a schedule that you choose. If you prefer, scheduled scans can quarantine threats and Potentially Unwanted Programs without manual action. This article shows how to create a scheduled scan and explains the related options.

Scheduled scans are managed at the group level. A scheduled scan can run on Windows endpoints, Mac endpoints, Linux endpoints, or all. You may also schedule an Asset Inventory Scan, which updates endpoint information in the console. For more information, see Types of Malwarebytes Nebula scans.

   • For Windows scans, you can select the scan method: Threat Scan, Hyper Scan, or Custom Scan.
   • Click the Quarantine found threats automatically toggle to have Malwarebytes place threats into quarantine without prompting the end user.
   • For Mac scans, you can select if you want to Treat Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) as malware by clicking the toggle.
6. In Scan Groups, check the checkbox of the groups to apply the scheduled scan to. Any child groups are automatically selected.
7. For the Scan Schedule section, set the following parameters:

9. Scroll up to the top of the Add New Schedule page and choose click Save.

Create a scheduled Asset Inventory Scan

An Asset Inventory Scan retrieves information on all endpoints in a group and updates the Endpoint Properties screens for that group. The information gathered is determined by the Asset Management settings in each group’s policy.

Note: Before you set a scheduled Asset Inventory Scan, check the Asset Management settings for your group policies. See Adjust policy Asset Management settings in the article Types of Malwarebytes Nebula scans.

1. Click Settings > Schedules.
2. Click New to create a new schedule.
3. Enter a Schedule Name.
4. In Scan Type of the Add New Schedule page, choose Asset Inventory Scan.
5. In Scan Groups, check the checkbox of the groups to apply the scheduled scan to. Any child groups are automatically selected. The Asset Management policy settings for the group determines what information is scanned on the endpoints.
6. For the Scan Schedule section, set the following parameters:
   • Schedule: Choose either Hourly, Daily, or Weekly.

The Asset Inventory Scan updates endpoint information in the console. This information is organized in Endpoint Properties on the Endpoints screen. To view Endpoint Properties, go to Endpoints > click an endpoint name. Use the  tabs on the Endpoint Properties screen to view details about the endpoint.
