ServerProtect for Storage uses the
Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) to communicate between the storage device
and the
ICAP scanner. This section describes the ICAP Scanner workflow in ServerProtect for Storage.
When a user attempts to access a file located on a storage device, the storage device
sends a
scan request to ServerProtect through
ICAP. ServerProtect scans the file
for viruses, and then according to the scan result, either allows or denies the access
to the
file.
