Which of the following is NOT a potential action when defining an alert?

Creating scan policies is a distinct process separate from the actions you can take when defining an alert. Alerts are mechanisms that notify you about certain conditions or thresholds being met in your system, which can help organizations respond proactively to compliance or security issues.

When defining an alert, actions like sending emails, notifying users, or assigning tickets are all directly relevant and actionable responses designed to ensure timely awareness and resolution of issues detected by the monitoring system. These actions facilitate immediate communication and task assignment, enhancing the operational response to alerts.

In contrast, creating scan policies usually involves the setup and configuration of how systems should be scanned for compliance, security vulnerabilities, or other assessments. This is more about system configuration rather than a reaction or response to a specific alert condition. Therefore, it does not fit within the context of defining an alert.
