The following are components associated with file content scanning.
The ManagerFC service is responsible for the execution and management of file scan jobs. The service performs the following tasks when processing a scan job:
Enumeration of files in target paths
Submission of files to scan queues in the message broker based on filter criteria
Processing of scan results and update of result data to the database and scan result files
AgentFC performs file content scans. AgentFC is hosted on a Windows Server and performs content scans on files stored on Windows servers and NAS devices.
Through AgentFC and ManagerFC, File Reporter performs, classifies, and categorizes file content scans. For example, content scans can identify files containing specified patterns such as U.S. Social Security numbers or credit card numbers.
