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. Trend Micro continually analyzes websites
and
updates web reputation scores to prevent users from accessing potentially malicious
content.
When a user attempts to access a website, the Security Agent queries a
smart protection source to ascertain the risk level of the content. The configured
Web Reputation
policy for the Security Agent determines whether to allow access to the website.
Web Reputation allows you to add websites that you consider
safe or dangerous to Approved or Blocked lists. The Security Agent does not
query web reputation scores for websites added to the lists but instead, automatically
allows or
blocks access.
