Scheduling a sensitive data scan
Coro enables you to create scheduled endpoint device sensitive data scans for storage drives on Windows and macOS devices. These scans activate at a specified time and frequency, for example, every Friday at 3 a.m.
Scanning device drives for sensitive data is a resource-consuming (CPU/memory) operation.
If a device is offline during a scheduled scan, the scan automatically starts when the device reconnects to Coro.
Tesseract-OCR must be installed on a device for Coro to scan image files during sensitive data scans.
