Should I Block Foregenix ThreatView/WebScan?
Only if nobody you work with uses it. Foregenix ThreatView/WebScan is the kind of tool a team points at its own site for uptime checks, performance tests, and audits. If someone on your team relies on it, blocking it silently breaks their monitoring. Almost none of the top websites we track have robots.txt rules for Foregenix ThreatView/WebScan right now.
Does Foregenix ThreatView/WebScan Respect Robots.txt?
No. Foregenix ThreatView/WebScan is not expected to honor robots.txt, so a disallow rule only states your preference. Enforce the block with firewall or server rules, then confirm in Agent Analytics that its requests actually stop.
Does Foregenix ThreatView/WebScan Access Private Content?
Only if its owner sets that up. Monitoring tools check whatever they are configured to check, which can include staging sites and private health endpoints when a team grants access. Uninvited, Foregenix ThreatView/WebScan sees only public pages.
