A policy management system is described herein which generates rules based, at least in part, on reputation information provided by at least one reputation source and client event information forwarded by filtering logic. The policy management system then deploys the rules to the filtering logic. The filtering logic, which resides in-network between clients and at least one service, uses the rules to process client event information sent by the clients to the service(s). In one illustrative environment, the service corresponds to an ad hosting service, which uses the policy management system and filtering logic to help prevent malicious client traffic from reaching the ad host service, or otherwise negatively affecting the ad hosting service.
