Creating a new scan policy

A scan policy is a set of settings for web application security scans. It determines the security tests to be conducted when initiating a scan. You can choose pre-defined policies, customize them based on your target's characteristics, or create new ones. Additionally, you can share policies within a group or duplicate them from a group.
