Enabling or disabling URL dynamic analysis

Prev Next

You can enable or disable URL Dynamic Analysis by using the Email Security - Server appliance Web UI or CLI:

When you enable URL Dynamic Analysis (also called DUA), the Email Security - Server appliance can analyze both the URL and the objects the URL references. The Email Security - Server appliance can also identify malicious shortened URLs (for example, j.mp, tinyurl.com, or bit.ly) that are embedded in an email message body. The Email Security - Server appliance will not analyze a URL within an email message body for malicious content if it contains a domain that you added to a whitelist. For details about how to add domains to a custom whitelist for URL Dynamic Analysis, see Adding or deleting a custom domain whitelist for URL dynamic analysis using the CLI. URL Dynamic Analysis is disabled by default.

Important

Do not enable URL Dynamic Analysis until you have validated end-to-end connectivity between live ether1 or ether2 interface and the Internet.
