How to run an on-demand custom scan with Intercept X server protection?

Andrew Fielden over 2 years ago

Hi,

I've run the installer for 'Server protection' on a Linux system.

I would like to run an on-demand scan of specific directories on the filesystem. Can I do it with this product?

I'm looking for something that does the same job as the legacy command 'savscan', which AFAIK becomes end-of-life in 2023.

I also looked at the range of installers for 'Endpoint protection', but there is no Linux installer for this.

Thanks

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for reaching us, As per verification with our internal team, on-demand scanning is not possible with our Intercept X for the Linux system. Available features of the said product can be found on this link.
