Configuring Web Reputation Targets

Web Reputation Services tracks the credibility of web domains by assigning a reputation score based on factors such as a website's age, historical location changes, and indications of suspicious activities discovered through malware behavior analysis. It will then continue to scan sites and block users from accessing infected ones.

To configure Web Reputation target settings:

1. Log on to the product console.

2. Click Web Reputation from the main menu. The Web Reputation screen displays.

3. Select Scan the content of message attachments for suspicious URLs to include web reputation scanning within the attachments of email messages.

4. Select one of the following security levels:

• High: blocks a greater number of web threats but increases risk of false positives.

• Medium: blocks most web threats while keeping the false positive count low.

• Low: blocks fewer web threats but reduces the risk of false positives.

5. Select Enable approved URL list to avoid scanning URLs deemed safe under your security policy.

6. Add approved URLs to the list.

7. Add addresses to the list of Approved Senders.

8. Click Save.
