Optimizing appliance performance

When appliance performance optimization is turned on (default), only content from sites with elevated risk profiles is sent to the cloud for analysis. This applies:

  • To both Advanced Classification Engine (ACE) advanced analysis and file type analysis
  • Even when ACE advanced analysis is configured to include sites with a lower risk profile

When appliance performance optimization is turned off:

  • All traffic is sent to the cloud for true file type analysis.
  • Sites with a lower risk profile may receive ACE advanced analysis, depending on the options selected on the Web Content & Security tab.

See Web Content & Security tab for more information about configuring ACE and file type analysis.

To turn off performance optimization:

Steps

  1. Click the next to Optimize performance (in the top, right corner of the Device Management page).
  2. On the pop-up that is displayed, select Off.
  3. Click Save to confirm.
