Updating the URL categorization database

Prev Next

You can configure the Network Security appliance to check for new URL categories by using the appliance CLI or appliance Web UI:

A third-party URL categorization database allows you to control which websites and website categories can be whitelisted based on SSL interception. This database classifies a variety of URLs into different categories, such as careers, arts, sports, and shopping. Each entry in the URL set can include the URL and metadata (for example, URL categories and category groups). When the latest URL categories are downloaded from the third-party URL categorization database, you can enable the relevant whitelist categories to ensure that sensitive data from trusted websites is not decrypted.

You can specify how often the latest URL categories are downloaded from the third-party URL categorization database. You can also immediately download the latest URL categories from the third-party URL categorization database.

Note

You must whitelist the zvelo.com domain that is used for the third-party URL categorization database to support both HTTPS and DNS requests.

Automatic updates of URL categories are disabled by default.
