Reputation Enabled Defense keeps your web users safe and boosts performance

Greater Protection From Web Threats

Reputation Enabled Defense delivers a secure web browsing experience through a reputation lookup that scores URLs as good, bad, or unknown. The lookup relies on a powerful, cloud-based reputation database that aggregates data from multiple feeds, including industry-leading anti-virus engines.

URLs whose reputation is clearly bad are immediately blocked.
Continuous updates to the reputation database allow it to stay current with dynamic web content and changing web conditions for real-time protection – no waiting for hourly or daily updates to be sent to you.
Reputation scores are determined for specify URLs, not just the site or IP address.

Faster, More Productive Web Surfing

Reputation Enabled Defense speeds up browsing because it eliminates the need to scan all web traffic for threats. URLs with a good reputation score can safely bypass AV scanning.

Local cache of reputation scores allows for quick processing of URLs.
More efficient use of appliance resources enables greater user capacity.
Up to 50% of URL scanning can be skipped without compromising security, resulting in faster browsing times and greater throughput at the gateway.
