Trend Micro designed PortalProtect to work with SharePoint Services to provide comprehensive security for your SharePoint Server.
At the center of the PortalProtect security solutions is the Trend Micro patented scan engine. The scan engine integrates with the SharePoint Services Antivirus Manager (AVM). During real-time scanning, the Antivirus Manager calls the Trend Micro scan engine whenever content is checked-in, checked-out or published to a SharePoint server. The Trend Micro scan engine responds by scanning the content. During manual or scheduled scanning, the scan engine accesses and scans all content in the SharePoint Server SQL database. To prevent redundant scanning, scan results are kept in the SQL store and made available to PortalProtect during subsequent scanning. Only files that have been modified will be scanned again.
SharePoint Services clients running applications such as Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer communicate with the SharePoint Services environment using Internet Information Services (IIS). The SharePoint administrator using the PortalProtect Web Management console also communicates with SharePoint environment using IIS.
PortalProtect is capable of receiving component updates through HTTP from the ActiveUpdate server or other Internet / intranet sources.
