“These reputation services are done in Trend’s data centers," says Bill Hansy, Trend Micro’s product marketing manager. There, an ongoing analysis of the life cycle of hundreds of millions of Web domains leads to an assessment of the trustworthiness of the site.

InterScan Gateway Security Appliance, which supports Trend Micro’s reputation services, is available in eight models that start at $4,490.
