Scheduled Updates

Configure Threat Mitigator to regularly check its update source and automatically download any available updates. Scheduled update relieves you of the task of manually keeping Threat Mitigator up-to-date.

A separate section in the screen is provided for updating the Pattern Release History. Update this component only if you have security enforcement as part of your protection strategy.
