What is Cisco WBRS?

--> WBRS stands for Web Based Reputation Score.

--> Cisco Web Reputation tracking helps protect against a range of URL-based threats.

--> WBRS differs from a traditional URL blacklist or whitelist because it analyzes a broad set of data and produces a highly granular score of -10 to +10, instead of the binary good or bad categorizations of most malware detection applications.

--> This granular score offers administrators increased flexibility; different security policies can be implemented based on different WBRS scoring ranges.

--> WBRS Score can be determined by using following things such as,

1) When the domain has been registered.

2) Which country the website belongs to it.

3) Whether the domain is owned by a Fortune 500 company or not.

4) Whether the web server is using a dynamic IP address.



--> Cisco Web Reputation tracking is facilitated by a common security database, the Cisco SenderBase Network. 

--> SenderBase is the world's largest email and web traffic monitoring network. 

--> It tracks more than 50 distinct parameters that are excellent indicators of a URL's reputation.

--> Cisco Web Reputation Filters also use Talos Security Intelligence and Research Group's advanced security infrastructure. 

--> It provides threat detection, correlation, and mitigation. Talos continuously facilitates an exceptional level of security for Cisco customers.

--> Web Reputation filters can be used with access, decryption, and cisco ironport data security policies.

--> Web Reputation is associated with an action to perform whenever user access the website URL.
