This version of PortalProtect uses Web Reputation technology to evaluate the integrity of URLs contained in both Web content and files in your SharePoint server.

Web threats encompass a broad array of threats that originate from the Internet. Web threats are sophisticated in their methods, using a combination of various files and techniques rather than a single file or approach. For example, Web threat creators constantly change the version or variant used. Because the Web threat is in a fixed location of a Web site rather than on an infected computer, the Web threat creator constantly modifies its code to avoid detection.

Web reputation blocks both files and Web content based on their reputation ratings. It queries the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network for these ratings.

Files and Web content that contain a URL that has been classified by Trend Micro as unsafe will be blocked. You can also customize and add to your own approved URL list. To enable this functionality, select Enable real-time Web Reputation for documents and Enable real-time Web Reputation for Web content from the Web Reputation page.
