Apex One (Mac) Security Agents can use one of two scan methods when scanning for security
risks. The scan methods are smart scan and conventional scan.
-
Smart ScanSecurity Agents that use smart scan are referred to as
smart scan agents
in this document. Smart scan agents benefit from local scans and in-the-cloud queries provided by File Reputation Services.This is the default scan method type. -
Conventional ScanAgents that do not use smart scan are called
conventional scan agents
. A conventional scan agent stores all Apex One (Mac) components on the agent endpoint and scans all files locally.
