What action does the DSA take once it receives a credibility score from the Web Reputation Service?

The Deep Security Agent (DSA) utilizes the credibility score received from the Web Reputation Service to determine the appropriate action to take regarding a web request. This score helps assess the safety and integrity of the website being accessed. If the score indicates that the site is potentially dangerous or harmful, the DSA will block access to that site to protect users and systems from malicious content, thereby ensuring the security of the network. Conversely, if the score signifies that the site is safe, the DSA allows the request to proceed.

This mechanism is crucial for maintaining a robust security posture, as it dynamically evaluates web content and enforces policies based on real-time intelligence. By blocking or allowing requests based on these scores, the DSA effectively mitigates risks and enhances the overall security framework within which it operates.
