Planning for Network Traffic

When planning for deployment, consider the network traffic that Worry-Free Services will generate. Worry-Free Services generates network traffic when the Worry-Free Services Server and Security Agents communicate with each other.

The Worry-Free Services Server/Scan Server generates traffic when:

• Notifying Security Agents about configuration changes

• Notifying Security Agents to download updated components

• Connecting to the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate Server to check for and download updated components

• Performing scans on the endpoints who are configured for Smart Scan

• Sending feedback to the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network

Security Agents generate traffic when:

• Starting up

• Shutting down

• Generating logs

• Performing scheduled updates

• Performing manual updates ("Update Now")

• Connecting to the Scan Server for Smart Scan

• Uploading metadata to the Worry-Free Services Server
