URL Categorization
Select one of the following options:
  • ThreatSeeker Cloud Service: When selected, the ThreatSeeker URL Categorization cloud database is used for the URL filtering.
    Note: By default, this option is selected.
  • Local (with Database Download): When selected, the locally downloaded ThreatSeeker URL Categorization database is used for the URL filtering.
Note:
  • The Security Engine must have a minimum of 16 GB of memory to use the locally downloaded ThreatSeeker URL Categorization database.
  • When the Local (with Database Download) option is selected the entire ThreatSeeker URL Categorization database is automatically downloaded and is made locally available to the engine.
  • The local database is automatically updated over the internet whenever updates are available.
  • If the ThreatSeeker Cloud Service option is selected after the Local (with Database Download) option was selected, the locally downloaded database will be automatically deleted.
