Freeze Windows

Agent freeze windows behave differently in Tenable Vulnerability Management and Tenable Nessus Manager.

In Tenable Vulnerability Management:

Freeze windows allow you to schedule times when Tenable Vulnerability Management suspends certain agent activities for all linked agents. This activity includes:

• Receiving and applying software updates

Freeze windows do not prevent linked agents from:

• Receiving plugin updates

• Installing or executing agent scans

In Tenable Nessus Manager:

Freeze windows allow you to schedule times when Tenable Nessus Manager suspends certain agent activities for all linked agents. This activity includes:

• Receiving and applying software updates

• Receiving plugin updates

• Installing or executing agent scans

To manage freeze windows, use the procedures described in the Tenable Nessus and Tenable Vulnerability Management User Guides.
