File Reputation "Insight"?

Hi there,

Does "Live Protection" works like a very fast way to distribute signatures, or like a reputation database?

Does SOPHOS has any comparable "reputation system" like Insight?

Is there anythink like it on a near term roadmap?

Thanks

  • Hello ricdgr,

    I don't (as I'm not Sophos :smileywink:). As you didn't find an answer in my previous post and obviously expected it to contain whitelist - could you please detail your conception of whitelist (with or without Live Protection) as well as file in this context? I'm not pulling your leg - in my understanding whitelist is generally a trade-off, deliberately accepting an additional (albeit small) risk to improve performance or trading false negatives for false positives. And file is ambiguous - for an exclusion it refers to those file system objects with a certain name(pattern)/path, for an authorization to a practically unique object.
