Auxiliary Digital Vaccine (Auxiliary DV) is the architectural framework that allows you to manage filter package updates apart from Digital Vaccine packages on the SMS and TPS security devices. Currently, the Auxiliary DV framework is being utilized to deliver the Malware Filter Package, a component of the Threat Digital Vaccine (ThreatDV) product. Auxiliary filter packages work in conjunction with the regular Digital Vaccine by augmenting the protection provided by the regular DV. Auxiliary filter packages do not duplicate any filters in the regular or any other filter package. The Auxiliary framework supports multiple types of concurrently active filter packages on a device, which means you can install or distribute an active Malware Filter Package without a conflict with the installed Digital Vaccine package.
