[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1039582, member: 99014"] That’s not really how it works. The purpose of checking reputation, performing just-in-time inspection and using various other automated methods (machine generated or validated), is to cut down on need for staff to double check. Phishing websites pop-up every second, by the time I write this post there are already thousands created. It is impossible even for behemoths with billions in revenue to employ enough staff and validate everything manually. There are [B]many [/B]methods that optimise searching processes from hash tables, to multi-threading to caching, whitelisting and whatnot. But end of the day this is a huge pile of always changing data. Using the cloud to do the heavy lifting has been implemented long time ago by many vendors across many different components, not only the web blocking. In this case the solution won’t be able to provide effective protection against phishing. Not that with the cloud vendors have managed to nail phishing protection. That’s quite obvious, but pages are short-lived and you can’t just append/prepend, you’ll need to constantly remove data as well. [/QUOTE]
