Installing CPM on the Server
The installation process you need to follow, when installing CPM on the server, depends on the scan method your endpoints will use.
Note: If Endpoint Manager 7.x (now known as BigFix) is currently installed
on your network, you need to upgrade any installed agents to version
8.0 or above, before installing CPM 10.6 clients.
Scan Methods
CPM clients can use conventional scan or smart scan when scanning for security risks.
Note: The default scan method in this release is conventional scan.
Change scan method settings using the Core Protection Module
- Enable Smart Scan or Core Protection Module
- Disable Smart Scan tasks.
Conventional Scan
Conventional scan is the scan method used in all earlier CPM versions. A conventional scan client stores all CPM components on the client computer and scans all files locally.
Note: Conventional scan is the default scan method for clients.
Smart Scan
Smart scan 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 that are stored in-the-cloud.
