About Web Tracking and Advanced Malware Protection Features
When searching for file threat information in Web Tracking, keep the following points in mind:
•
To search for malicious files found by the file reputation service, select Known Malicious and
High-Risk Files for the Filter by Malware Category option in the Malware Threat area in the
Advanced section in Web Tracking.

Web Tracking includes only information about file reputation processing and the original file
reputation verdicts returned at the time a transaction was processed. For example, if a file was
initially found to be clean, then a verdict update found the file to be malicious, only the clean verdict
appears in Tracking results.

verdict.
In Tracking details, the "AMP Threat Score" is the best-effort score that the cloud reputation service
provides when it cannot determine a clear verdict for the file. In this situation, the score is between
1 and 100. (Ignore the AMP Threat Score if an AMP Verdict is returned or if the score is zero.) The
appliance compares this score to the threshold score (configured on the Security Services >
Anti-Malware and Reputation page) to determine what action to take. By default, files with scores
between 60 and 100 are considered malicious. Cisco does not recommend changing the default
threshold score. The WBRS score is the reputation of the site from which the file was downloaded;
this score is not related to the file reputation.
