The website's reputation is correlated with the specific web reputation policy enforced on the computer. Deep Security uses Trend Micro's Web security databases from Smart Protection Network sources to check the reputation of websites that users are attempting to access. The web reputation module protects against web threats by blocking access to malicious URLs. 1000 displaying Red Error "URL Reputation Protection is disabled"For a list of operating systems where web reputation is supported, see Supported features by platform. That did resolve the issue but I had to repair approximately 10 out of 15 SEP Clients and that is not an acceptable solution for large environments where there may be hundreds or thousands of SEP clients with the issue. I also opened a case when the initial 14.3 RU1 was released and the resolution was to Repair the SEP Client. I have opened a case for this issue and am waiting feedback. This appears to be a bug that Broadcom needs to fix ASAP. When 14.3 RU1 Refresh was released I hoped it would be fixed but the issue still exists in 14.3 RU1 Refresh (.1000). This issue first appeared when I upgraded to 14.3 RU1 (.1000) and I assumed it was a bug so I waited for the next release. The only way to suppress the error is to uncheck "Enable URL Reputation" in the IPS policy on the SEP Manager AND click the Lock Icon beside "Enable URL Reputation".

The SEP client GUI shows a Big Red Error and the SEP client tray icon shows a Red Shield instead of a Green Dot. I confirmed the feature is enabled in the IPS policy on the SEP Manager and when checking the SEP Client settings locally the box is checked for "Enable URL Reputation" under the Intrusion Prevention tab in the Network and Host Exploit Mitigation Settings area.

I am having an issue with the SEP Client reporting that the "URL Reputation Protection is disabled".
