    • Trend Micro Smart Protection Network™
      Trend Micro Smart Protection Network is a globally-scaled, cloud-based infrastructure providing reputation services to Trend Micro products that integrate Smart Protection technology. Deep Discovery Analyzer connects to the Smart Protection Network using HTTP. Select this option if you do not plan to set up a Smart Protection Server.
    • Smart Protection Server
      Smart Protection Server does the following:
      • Provides Web Reputation Services as offered by Smart Protection Network
      • Relays these services to the global Trend Micro Smart Protection Network for network efficiency
      • Acts as a reverse proxy for Deep Discovery Analyzer to connect to global services
      As a Trend Micro product administrator, you must set up and maintain this server. Select this option if you have already set up a server.
  4. If you select Smart Protection Server, configure the following settings:
    1. Specify the Smart Protection Server IP address or fully qualified domain name and port number.
      Obtain the IP address by going to Smart Protection → Reputation Services → Web Reputation on the Smart Protection Server console.
      The IP address forms part of the URL listed on the screen.
    2. (Optional) Select Connect using a proxy server if proxy settings for Deep Discovery Analyzer have been configured for use with Smart Protection Server connections.
