Abstract
Systems and methods for reputation based connection determinations are provided. Systems used for reputation based connection throttling can include a communications interface, a reputation engine and a connection control engine. The communications interface can receive connection requests associated with an external entity prior to a connection being established to the external entity. The reputation engine can derive a reputation associated with the external entity. The connection control engine can allow or deny connection requests to a protected network based upon the derived reputation of the external entity.
