With one of the largest domain-reputation
databases in the world,
Trend Micro web
reputation technology 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. Web reputation then continues
to scan sites and block users from accessing infected ones. Web
reputation features help ensure that the pages that users access
are safe and free from web threats, such as malware, spyware, and
phishing scams that are designed to trick users into providing personal
information. To increase accuracy and reduce false positives,
Trend Micro Web reputation
technology assigns reputation scores to specific pages or links
within sites instead of classifying or blocking entire sites, since
often, only portions of legitimate sites are hacked and reputations
can change dynamically over time.
Web reputation helps deter users from following
malicious URLs when the feature is enabled. Web reputation queries
the assigned web reputation server for the reputation rating upon
receipt of an email message with a URL in the message body or attachment.
Depending on the configuration, Web Reputation can quarantine, delete,
or tag the email message with URLs.
