Pause, Resume, and Schedule Your Scans

Run pentests on your terms with flexible scan controls and automated scheduling.

January 8, 2026

Security testing shouldn't hold your infrastructure hostage. Whether you need to pause for a maintenance window, resume after hours, or run tests on a recurring schedule - you should be in control.

Today we're shipping Pause & Resume and Scheduled Scans - two features that put you in the driver's seat.

Pause and resume: testing on your schedule

Sometimes you need to stop a scan mid-flight. Maybe there's an incident, a deployment, or you just need to free up resources. Now you can:

  1. Click Pause on any running scan.
  2. The AI safely checkpoints its progress and stops.
  3. Click Resume when you're ready - testing picks up where it left off.

No wasted work. No restarting from scratch. No lost findings.

Why this matters

  • Zero-downtime coordination: Pause before deploys, resume after.
  • Incident response flexibility: Stop testing immediately if something unexpected happens.
  • Cost control: Pause overnight, resume in the morning - only pay for active testing time.

Scheduled scans: set it and forget it

For teams running continuous security programs, manually kicking off tests gets old fast. Scheduled scans let you:

  • Set recurring pentests (daily, weekly, monthly)
  • Target specific projects or asset groups
  • Get notified when results are ready

Configure it once, and RedVeil handles the rest. Your security posture stays current without calendar reminders.

What's next

We're working on smarter scheduling - like triggering scans after CI/CD deploys or pausing automatically during detected maintenance windows.
