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.
Security Agents subject
to web reputation policies use Web Reputation Services. Trend Micro Apex One administrators can
subject all or several agents to
web reputation policies.
