Options
Security Risk Scan
  • Conventional Scan: Select the scan method used in previous ScanMail versions. All components used for security risk scans are stored locally on the ScanMail server.
  • Smart Scan - File Reputation service: Select the next-generation, in-the-cloud protection solution. At the core of this solution is an advanced scanning architecture that leverages threat signatures that are stored in the cloud. Install Smart Protection Servers on your network to further increase scan efficiency.
Web Reputation Services
  • Smart Protection Network: Sends all web reputation queries to Trend Micro servers for verification.
  • Smart Protection Server: Verifies all web reputation queries locally. If the local server cannot verify the queries, the server sends them to Trend Micro servers for further analyses.
