Configuring Automatic Updates On Hosts From Policy Manager Proxy - F-SECURE CLIENT SECURITY 7.00 Administrator's Manual

12.4 Configuring Automatic Updates on Hosts from
Policy Manager Proxy
Hosts running F-Secure Client Security or F-Secure Anti-Virus for
Workstations fetch virus definition updates through F-Secure Policy
Manager Proxy. F-Secure Policy Manager Proxy contacts F-Secure
Policy Manager Server and F-Secure's distribution server when needed.
Workstations in the remote offices communicate also with the Policy
Manager Server in the main office, but this communication is restricted to
remote policy management, status monitoring, and alerting. Since the
heavy database update traffic is redirected through the F-Secure Policy
Manager Proxy in the same local network, the network connection
between managed workstations and F-Secure Policy Manager Server
has a substantially lighter load.
