IP Reputation

IP reputation refers to the perceived trustworthiness of an Internet Protocol (IP) address based on its past behavior and activity. Internet service providers and security systems monitor how an IP address is used, noting whether it has been associated with spam, malware, or other malicious activities. A good reputation means the IP is generally considered safe, while a poor reputation can lead to email delivery issues or being blocked from certain websites. Essentially, it’s like an online credit score for devices connected to the internet.
