Web Reputation provides a reputation score to URLs. For each accessed URL, IWSVA queries this service for a reputation score and takes the necessary action based on the user-selected sensitivity level.

Because a Web Reputation query also returns URL category information, a pattern-size dependent local database for URL filtering is no longer necessary. The URL category filtering source depends entirely on the Web Reputation database and the URL local cache.

IWSVA enables you to provide feedback on infected URLs that helps to improve the Web Reputation database. This feedback includes the product name and version, URL, and virus names. It does not include any IP information. IWSVA also enables you to monitor the effectiveness of the Web Reputation filtering without impacting existing Web-access policies. Results are located in the URL Blocking Log and the Dashboard page.
