HTTP > Advanced Threat Protection > Policies | Web Reputation Rules
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. URL category filtering
source depends entirely on the Web Reputation and the URL local cache.
Settings
To use the Web Reputation rule in this policy, you must select the Use Web Reputation rule in this policy check box, then enable this feature at the global level (HTTP > Advanced Threat Protection > Policies | Enable Web reputation checkbox). Clear the checkbox to disable it.
Sensitivity Level
Upon receiving the Web Reputation score, IWSVA determines whether the score is above
or below the threshold. The threshold is defined by the sensitivity level specified
by the user. Medium is the default sensitivity setting. This setting is recommended
because it blocks most Web threats while not creating many false positives.
