Grid and Census Queries

The Census, Good File Reputation, and Predictive Machine Learning services are security services hosted by Trend Micro in its Smart Protection Network. They are necessary for the full and successful operation of the Deep Security behavior monitoring, predictive machine learning, and process memory scan features.
If you have disabled all of the settings listed in this article, you may find that Deep Security still attempts to connect to these services. You can disable the grid and census queries by running the following commands on your Deep Security Manager. For details on the dsm_c command, see the Deep Security Help Center article, Command-line basics.

dsm_c -action changesetting -name settings.configuration.enableCensusQuery -
value false -tenantname <tenantname>

dsm_c -action changesetting -name settings.configuration.enableGridQuery -
value false -tenantname <tenantname>

 

 
Disabling these services is not recommended and may result in a lower detection rate and a higher false-positive rate because Deep Security can no longer confirm the validity of files that it is scanning.
