Web Reputation technology tracks the credibility of Web domains by assigning a
reputation score based on factors such as a Web site’s age, historical location changes
and
indications of suspicious activities discovered through malware behavior analysis.
It will then
continue to scan sites and block users from accessing infected ones.
When a user accesses a URL, Trend Micro:
-
Leverages the domain-reputation database to verify the credibility of the Web sites and pages
-
Assigns reputation scores to Web domains and individual pages or links within sites
-
Allows or blocks users from accessing sites
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 there are times that only portions of legitimate sites are hacked
and
reputations can change dynamically over time.
