Smart Protection Tab

Trend Micro Smart Protection technology is a next-generation, in-the-cloud protection solution providing File and Web Reputation Services. By integrating Web Reputation Services, Deep Discovery Analyzer can obtain reputation data for websites that users attempt to access. Deep Discovery Analyzer logs URLs that Smart Protection technology verifies to be fraudulent or known sources of threats and then uploads the logs for report generation.

Deep Discovery Analyzer connects to a Smart Protection source to obtain web reputation data.
