Smart protection includes services that provide anti-malware
signatures, web reputations, and threat databases that are stored
in-the-cloud.
Smart protection services include:
-
File Reputation Services:
File Reputation Services off-loads
a large number of anti-malware signatures that were previously stored
on
agent computers to
smart protection sources. For details, see
File Reputation Services.
-
Web Reputation Services:
Web Reputation Services allows local
smart protection sources to host URL reputation data that were previously hosted
solely by
Trend Micro.
Both technologies ensure smaller bandwidth consumption when updating
patterns or checking a URL’s validity. For details, see
Web Reputation Services.
