URL categories
If you are using Forcepoint Web Security, use the page in the Data Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager to select the URL categories that may be the source or destination of sensitive information.
Use these categories in policies to define rules for web channels. For example, define a rule that credit card numbers cannot be posted to known fraud sites. (The system does not monitor URL categories on endpoint web channels.)
URL categories are imported in one of two ways: Either using Linking Service, from the Forcepoint Master Database, or from Forcepoint Web Security Cloud Portal using an XML file. Categories can, therefore, be viewed but not changed. If you are using Linking Service, periodically click Update Now to reconnect with the database and update your category list. If you are importing from Forcepoint Web Security Cloud Portal, you can import multiple XML files.
Getting URL category mapping using either Linking Service or importing Forcepoint DLP supports predefined and custom categories.
Forcepoint Web Security may identify more than one category for a single URL. For example, a blog might have a static category of Blogs and Personal Sites, but also be classified in the Malicious Embedded Link category after having been hacked.
Forcepoint Web Security looks up static URL categories and Content Gateway analyzes dynamic content. Both categories are reflected in your incident reports.
