What happens if a feature key expires? For this question lets use WRBS. If the WBRS feature key expires, does this block web traffic based on how policies are built?
If WBRS keys expire then reputation services are no longer available so no sites with negative reputations would be blocked. It basically is a fail open method where traffic will continue to flow however reputation blocks will not work.
