Abstract
One or more features of a connected device are determined. A set of websites potentially accessed by the connected device are defined based on the one or more features. Reputation data for the set of websites is determined. The reputation data for the set of websites is stored into a cache. Network traffic between the connected device and an accessed website is intercepted. Reputation data for the accessed website is retrieved from the cache based on the network traffic. A cybersecurity operation related to the connected device is performed based on the reputation data for the accessed website.
