- **[Subscribe to Security Insights Alerts](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.sc_ext_subscribe_alerts.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Receive progress reports that compare the results of the latest security analysis with previous ones. Improve planning and resource allocation for security measures by tracking improvements or regressions in security settings over time.
- **[Scheduling Automated Snapshots](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.sc_ext_schedule_automated_snapshots.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can schedule a Platform Encryption Analysis, Data Classification Snapshot, Security Insights Refresh, History Retention Policy Snapshot, and Fill Rates Analysis. These can be configured to run on a Daily, Weekly, or Monthly basis. When scheduling, it is recommended to schedule the Platform Encryption Analysis to run separately from the Security Insights job, with a two to three hour buffer between them.
