Anti-Spam
Anti-Spam uses Email Reputation, which is a Smart Protection Network component that verifies IP addresses of incoming email messages using one of the world's largest, most trusted reputation databases, along with a dynamic reputation database to identify new spam and phishing sources, stopping even zombies and botnets when they first emerge. For details, see Anti-Spam Security.
Web Reputation Services (WRS)
Web Reputation Services (WRS) scrutinizes URLs before users access potentially dangerous websites, especially sites known to be phishing or pharming sites. By utilizing WRS, the appliance provides real-time protection, conserves system scanning resources, and saves network bandwidth by preventing the infection chain or breaking it early. For details, see WRS Profiles.
