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.
-
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.
