Configure dynamic scoring for Contrast Scan

Turning on dynamic scoring automatically adjusts the application score when you change the status for one or more scan vulnerabilities to Not a Problem. The application score no longer includes vulnerabilities with a status of Not a Problem.

The default setting for this option is disabled.
