- Real-time (`real_time`): Real-time protection (scan files as they're modified) is enabled.
- On-demand (`on_demand`): Files are scanned only on demand. In this:
- Real-time protection is turned off.
- Definition updates occur only when a scan starts, even if `automaticDefinitionUpdateEnabled` is set to `true` in on-demand mode.

- On-demand scanning is turned on: Still use the scan capabilities on the endpoint.
