TrustedSource Reputation System: The Next Level of Protection

Secure Computing's TrustedSource™ global reputation system provides the "missing link" that has long been absent from Internet security. The TrustedSource reputation system forms the foundation of Secure Computing's entire range of messaging, Web, and network gateway solutions, accumulating data from over 7000 sensors in 51 countries to create highly accurate profiles of all sender activity on the Internet. The TrustedSource reputation system uses these profiles to create a reputation score for each sender, based on behavior.

The TrustedSource reputation system adds an extra layer of protection to Secure Computing's Unified Threat Management platform, combining TrustedSource proactive security with proven solutions. The TrustedSource reputation system adds this extra layer of protection through the volume, quality and accuracy of its reputational data.

The TrustedSource reputation system works well with existing systems to supplement their utility. Simple reactive systems are no longer adequate, and zero-day attacks are prevailing throughout the Internet. Signature-based systems are of course, an important part of protection, but they can't do the job alone. Attacks that have not yet been identified and categorized can penetrate thousands of computers in just minutes. With TrustedSource, the reputation of a traffic source is analyzed, and the system determines whether it is reliable. Using this technique, which has been highly refined for accuracy, the TrustedSource reputation system shuts down unreliable senders at the gateway, before they can get into your network and do damage. Even if the specific attack has not yet been identified, the TrustedSource reputation system recognizes the source, says "I know you, you're up to no good," and blocks the connection.

The TrustedSource reputation system combats spam and other attacks with a sophisticated solution that is dynamic, comprehensive and precise, and is based on actual traffic. Like a virtual credit agency, TrustedSource assigns a reputation score and classifies senders based on an in-depth analysis of more than a dozen attributes of each sender.
