The Smart Protection Server retains a repository
of file reputation virus/malware threats and verified web reputation
threats. The implementation of a Smart Protection Server reduces
bandwidth usage and provides a higher level of privacy for companies.
Smart Protection Servers verify all queries against their local
reputation data.
There are two types of Smart Protection Servers:
-
Integrated
Smart Protection Server: An integrated Smart Protection Server installs
alongside other
Trend Micro products.
ScanMail can leverage these
pre-existing server resources without the need to expend further resources.
-
Standalone Smart Protection
Server: A standalone Smart Protection Server installs on
a VMware or Hyper-V server. The standalone server has a separate
management console and the
ScanMail web
console does not manage it.
