  5. In the screen that opens, under Data assets classification options, you can do the following:

    • Select or deselect managed services, which are native cloud services that are managed directly by your cloud provider, such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.

    • Select or deselect self-managed assets, which are databases that you run on your cloud virtual machines.

    • Configure a cadence indicating how often a scan should be performed.

      Note

      If you do not select a scanning cadence, the default setting is applied. For more information, contact your Customer Support team.
