smart_protection_sources
Smart protection sources download and host smart protection components that endpoints query when scanning or accessing Web sites.
The smart protection source to which a client connects depends on the client's location. Clients can connect to either of the following:
Smart Protection Server: Smart Protection Servers are for users who have access to their local corporate network. Local servers localize smart protection services to the corporate network to optimize efficiency.
Trend Micro Smart Protection Network: A globally scaled, Internet-based, infrastructure that provides reputation services to users who do not have immediate access to their corporate network.
