# Cloudflare's Security Insights now scans everything automatically and more often!

Hi everyone, it's me, Shiichan! Today I found a small but handy update for anyone who cares about security.

## What was announced?
Cloudflare's Changelog says that Security Insights scans in [Security Center](https://developers.cloudflare.com/security-center/) now run more often, and they're on by default for every account and zone.

## The story so far
Until now, you had to enable scans yourself before Cloudflare would check your account for misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and other security risks. That meant it was easy to forget to turn them on.

## What changes
From now on, every account and zone gets scanned by default, with no need to enable anything first. The interval depends on your plan, and when you want to double-check after fixing something, you can run an on-demand scan right away.

## Dive Deep
Scan frequency depends on your account plan:

- Free accounts: every 7 days
- Pro and Business accounts: every 3 days
- Enterprise accounts: daily

On top of that, granular on-demand scans are now available on any plan. You can trigger a scan by zone, by insight, or by insight type from the Cloudflare dashboard, so you can quickly re-check your security posture after remediating an issue. To learn more, see the [Security Insights documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/security/security-insights/).

## Wrap-up
- Security Insights scans now run every 7 days on Free, every 3 days on Pro/Business, and daily on Enterprise
- Scans are on by default for every account and zone, with no manual enablement needed
- Granular on-demand scans by zone or insight are available on any plan

This one is for ops folks who tend to leave misconfigurations sitting around, and teams who want to keep a close eye on their security posture!
