+description: Schedule blackout periods to automatically pause and resume your DAST scans
+---
+
+Blackout periods allow you to temporarily pause your DAST scans to avoid conflicts with other activities or to prevent disruptions during sensitive times.
+
+- **Automatic Resumption:** Once the blackout period ends, your DAST scans will automatically resume without any manual intervention.
+- **Flexible Scheduling:** Define blackout periods with precise start and end times to fit your specific needs.
+- **No Data Loss:** Any scan progress made before the blackout period will be preserved, and the scan will continue from where it left off.
+
+## Use Cases
+
+- **Planned Maintenance:** Suspend scans during scheduled maintenance windows to prevent interference with system updates or infrastructure changes.
+- **High-Traffic Events:** Pause scans during peak traffic periods or marketing campaigns to avoid performance impacts on your application.
+- **Vulnerability Remediation:** Temporarily disable scans while you're actively fixing identified vulnerabilities to prevent redundant alerts.
+- **Third-Party Integrations:** Prevent scans from interfering with scheduled tasks from other tools or services integrated with your application.
+
+## Setting Up the Blackout Period
+
+1. Go to your target's settings.
+2. In the Scanner tab, locate the **Blackout Period** section.
+3. Enable the feature by toggling the switch component.

+5. Define the start and end time/day in your local timezone for when the scan will be paused and resumed.

+7. Save your changes.
+
+{{% alert title="Note" color="primary" %}}
+Disabling the feature does not delete your saved blackout periods
+{{% /alert %}}
+
+## Other Considerations
+
+- While a blackout period is active, no new scans will be initiated, and any in-progress scans will be paused.
+- Ensure your blackout periods do not overlap with critical security testing windows to maintain continuous vulnerability assessment.
+- Consider setting reminders for upcoming blackout periods to avoid unintended lapses in security coverage.

 Rather than scanning the entire target, specify a subset of URLs within your target to scan by defining a Reduced Scope in your target settings. This is particularly useful when you want to focus on specific areas of your application, such as new features or high-risk areas.

+## Benefits
 
 - **Faster Feedback:** Get faster feedback on the security of your code changes. This is especially helpful in CI/CD pipelines, where you need to deliver code changes quickly and reliably.
 - **Reduced Scan Time:** Scanning a smaller subset of your target can significantly reduce the overall scan time.
 - **Focused Scans:** Focus your scans on specific areas of your target that are most important or that have undergone recent changes.
 - **Reduced Noise:** Reduce the number of vulnerabilities reported, making it easier to focus on the most critical issues.

-### Other Considerations
+## Other Considerations
 
 - **Target Hostname and Extra Hosts**: Only the target's hostname and defined extra hosts are allowed in the reduced scope.
 - **Inaccessible Endpoints**: If you want to test endpoints that are not accessible through your target's root, you will need to add them to the Seeds List module in your target settings.
