EPSEC/OPSWAT

Question

Hi, I have started recently working on APM. I would like to know what does EPSEC and OPSWAT actually do? How are they actually used in this module.&nbsp;
Thanks,
Chandra&nbsp;

In APM you can configure policies based on client side check. OPSWAT is plugin APM uses to do the software check under the client side check.&nbsp;
