Smart Scan Server Setup

Smart Scan Server

Threat Mitigator leverages Trend Micro smart scan technology during routine mitigation tasks and On-demand Scan. Smart scan technology is a next-generation, in-the-cloud based endpoint protection solution. At the core of this solution is an advanced scanning architecture that leverages threat signatures stored in-the-cloud.

In place of the conventional Virus Pattern, Threat Mitigator downloads and updates a lightweight pattern called Smart Scan Agent Pattern. If this pattern is unable to determine the risk of a file during mitigation or On-demand Scan, a scan query is sent to a cloud-based server called Smart Scan Server.

A Smart Scan Server hosts the Smart Scan Pattern, which contains signatures not found in the Smart Scan Agent Pattern and checks whether the file is safe to access. A Smart Scan Server downloads and updates the Smart Scan Pattern from the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server.

Perform the following tasks to set up a Smart Scan Server:

1. Install Smart Scan Server. For details, see Smart Scan Server Installation.

2. Configure Smart Scan Server settings from the Threat Mitigator console. For details, see Smart Scan Server Settings.
