URL Reputation

URL Reputation is a security classification assigned to each URL based on its known threat level, as reported by SonicOS. NSM captures and displays URL Reputation data to help administrators identify and analyze potentially harmful web activity across the network. The URL Reputation column is available in the following areas:

• Analytics: Available in the Web Activities tab across the List, Log, and Graph views. In the List and Graph views, you can use URL Reputation as a Group By criteria to group data by reputation classification. URL Reputation data can also be exported as part of CSV reports.
• Productivity: Available as a column in the Users, Websites, and Web Categories reports. The column is visible by default and can be configured using the column selector. URL Reputation data can also be exported as part of CSV reports. For more information, refer to Productivity.

URL Reputation is supported only on firewalls running firmware version 8.2.2 or later.

URL Reputation Column

Firewall View: The URL Reputation column is available only when the firewall runs firmware version 8.2.2 or later. It does not appear for earlier versions.

Tenant View: The URL Reputation column displays NA for URLs from firewalls running a firmware version earlier than 8.2.2. Hover over NA to view the tooltip: Reputation is not available for firmware version lesser than 8.2.2.

Group By: URL Reputation

Firewall View: The URL Reputation option does not appear in the Group By drop-down when the firewall runs a firmware version earlier than 8.2.2.

Tenant View: When Group By: URL Reputation is selected, an additional NA category appears in the table for all URLs from firewalls running a firmware version earlier than 8.2.2. Hover over NA to view the tooltip: Reputation data is not available for firmware version lesser than 8.2.2.

Group View: Same behavior as Tenant View — URLs from firewalls running a firmware version earlier than 8.2.2 are grouped under the NA category with the same tooltip.
