      • Provides Web Reputation Services as offered by Smart Protection Network

      • Relays these services to the global Trend Micro Smart Protection Network for network efficiency

      • Acts as a reverse proxy for Deep Discovery Analyzer to connect to global services

      As a Trend Micro product administrator, you must set up and maintain this server. Select this option if you have already set up a server.

    1. Specify the Smart Protection Server IP address or fully qualified domain name and port number.
