ABOUT SYMANTEC™ PROTECTION ENGINE
LAST UPDATED JULY 3, 2024
Symantec Protection Engine is a carrier class content and URL scanning engine.
Symantec Protection Engine provides content scanning and URL filtering
capabilities to any application on an IP network, regardless of its platform.
Any application can pass files or URLs to Symantec Protection Engine for
scanning.
The
Internet Content Adaptation Protocol
(ICAP), version 1.0, as presented in RFC 3507 (April 2003)
A proprietary implementation of remote procedure call (RPC) for NetApp devices
only.
SPE REST APIs.
About supported protocols for Symantec Protection Engine
Symantec Protection Engine also lets you centrally manage your scanners and scan
policies, add servers, and view the dashboards from the SPE console. It includes
the centralized quarantine, reporting, and license management.
You can also use the Symantec Protection Engine software development kit
(supported SDK - C-SDK, Java SDK, and .NET SDK) or build your own connector to
integrate Symantec Protection Engine with your application. The SDK supports
version 1.0 of ICAP, as presented in RFC3507 (April 2003). Symantec also has
developed connector code for some third-party applications to seamlessly
integrate with Symantec Protection Engine.
The
Symantec Protection Engine Software Developers Guide
provides information about how to create customized integrations with ICAP.
