IP reputation
CloudFilt offers a complete AI-powered IP reputation monitoring and blocking system, helping businesses detect, block, and manage risky or malicious IP addresses in real time, before they can harm your website, application, or API.
What is IP reputation ?
IP reputation measures the trustworthiness or risk level of a specific IP address based on its past and current online behavior.
Good IPs : Belong to real users, search engines (e.g., GoogleBot), or trusted businesses
Bad IPs : Used by bots, attackers, or compromised servers to perform harmful actions such as spam, DDoS attacks, scraping, or brute-force logins
IPs involved in malicious activities are often listed in public or proprietary blacklists.
Why block IPs with bad reputation ?
IPs with poor reputations are typically involved in :
DDoS attacks
Brute-force login attempts
SQL injection or vulnerability scanning
Web scraping or spam form submissions
Malware distribution and phishing
Blocking bad IPs helps you :
Reduce attack surface
Improve server performance
Minimize financial losses and downtime
Maintain brand reputation and customer trust
