Smart Protection Relays

If smart scan is used by endpoints on your network, CPM clients make reputation queries to Smart Protection Servers or the Smart Protection Network. Updates and reputation queries can impact your network bandwidth. Smart Protection Relays (SPR) are used to keep bandwidth usage for endpoints using smart scan to a minimum, when updating or performing reputation queries. SPRs act as super nodes to deploy updates to smart scan endpoints and to funnel reputation queries to Smart Protection Servers.
