Overview

This node initiates a Full Disk Scan on SentinelOne Agents that match specified filters. It is useful for security teams to detect dormant suspicious activities, threats, and compliance violations on endpoints. The scan inspects the local file system but excludes network or external drives. It enhances threat detection by using updated cloud data when the endpoint is connected to the management console.

Use Case Examples

  1. Run a Full Disk Scan on all Windows agents in a specific site to detect hidden threats.
  2. Trigger a scan on a group of macOS endpoints to ensure compliance with security policies.

Troubleshooting
