- November 23, 2010 - Online threats directly relate to IP Reputations WatchGuard security analysts see increasing complexity and expanding globalization of IT threats. In particular, threat developers are leveraging the webs dynamic nature to foster and distribute new threat from around the world. Because of this, WatchGuard recommends businesses adopt "reputation" services as part of their multilayered security posture. Reputation services leverage in-the-cloud systems that aggregate data from multiple feeds, including industry-leading anti-virus engines, for real-time protection against web threats. By utilizing reputation services, businesses can mitigate threats before they ever hit their network. The following are recent data points provided by WatchGuard ReputationAuthority that illustrate what a WatchGuard Reputation Enabled Defense stops: * 56+ Million Threats Rejected Since October 16, 2010 the WatchGuard Reputation Enabled Defense system has prevented more than 56 million network threats from reaching their intended destination. * Top Spammers WatchGuard Reputation Enabled Defense cloud system automatically rejects e-mail messages from the following sources.
