Web Reputation

Deep Discovery Web Inspector integrates the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, a cloud-based infrastructure that determines the reputation of websites that users attempt to access. Deep Discovery Web Inspector logs URLs that Smart Protection technology identifies as fraudulent or known sources of threats, and uploads the logs to the Threat Management Services Portal for report generation.

 
If you do not want to allow Trend Micro Web Reputation services to collect any data about URLs, do not install Trend Micro Deep Discovery Web Inspector.

Scan Policies

Deep Discovery Web Inspector uses scan policies to determine what incoming traffic should be scanned and the action to take if there is a policy match.

To prevent the transmission of data by scan policies, you can delete all custom policies and disable the default policy (which cannot be deleted).

 
Deleting all custom policies and disabling the default policy prevents the transmission of data to Trend Micro but also prevents Deep Discovery Web Inspector from inspecting traffic. All traffic will bypass scanning and traverse the appliance without scanning. This prevents Deep Discovery Web Inspector from detecting and protecting against security threats.

Virtual Analyzer

Virtual Analyzer is a secure virtual environment that opens suspicious files submitted by Deep Discovery Web Inspector to test for malicious behavior. Virtual Analyzer is able to find exploit code, Command & Control (C&C) and botnet connections, and other suspicious behaviors or characteristics.

 
Disabling Virtual Analyzer prevents the transmission of data to Trend Micro but severely impacts the ability of Deep Discovery Web Inspector to detect advanced malware.
