Choose URL/IP Reputation
If your main need is to block risky URLs and IPs and manage website access by category.
Choose Threat Protection
If you want website protection plus broader protection for your network and connected devices, including protection against port scans, brute-force attacks, exploits, and unusual device activity.
Simply put:
Website access and URL/IP protection → URL/IP Reputation
Broader network and device protection → Threat Protection
