Configuring the Web Reputation Scan Service Parent topic

ScanMail provides two server options for web reputation queries: the Smart Protection Network and Smart Protection Servers.
For a more information on Smart Protection Network and Smart Protection Servers, see Smart Protection Sources.

Procedure

  1. On the left navigation pane, click Smart Protection → Scan Service Settings.
    The Scan Service Settings screen appears.
  2. Under Web Reputation Services, select:
    1. Smart Protection Network: Sends all web reputation queries to Trend Micro servers for verification.
    2. Smart Protection Server: Verifies all web reputation queries locally. If the local server cannot verify the queries, the server sends them to Trend Micro servers for further analyses.
      • Select Do not make external queries to Smart Protection Network to restrict the local server from sending web reputation queries to Trend Micro servers.
        Note
        Note
        Preventing queries from transmitting to Trend Micro Smart Protection Network provides the highest level of privacy and lowest network bandwidth usage, but also restricts the web reputation security level to Low. Smart Protection Servers cannot maintain the vast repository of Trend Micro Smart Protection Network.
  3. To configure your Local Sources settings, click the related link and refer to Configuring Local Sources.
  4. Click Save.
