Reputation Enabled Defense

The web reputation authority service provided by Reputation Enabled Defense (RED) is deprecated. For more information, go to this Partner Blog post.

Use the cloud-based WatchGuard reputation server to allow or deny access to sites based on their reputation.

The WatchGuard reputation server assigns a reputation score between 1 and 100 to every URL. When a user goes to a website, RED sends the requested web address (or URL) to the WatchGuard reputation server. The WatchGuard server responds with a reputation score for that URL. Based on the reputation score, and on locally configured thresholds, RED determines whether the Firebox should block or allow traffic.
