Working with categories

Web protection software provides multiple methods for managing sites that are not in the Forcepoint URL Database, and for changing the way that individual URLs in the Forcepoint URL Database are handled.

• Create custom categories for more precise policy enforcement and reporting.
• Use recategorized URLs to define categories for uncategorized sites, or to change the category for sites that appear in the Forcepoint URL Database.
• Define keywords to recategorize all sites whose URL contains a certain string.

If you want to configure whether or not attempts to access a category are recorded in the Log Database, see Configuring how requests are logged. If a category is not logged, client requests for that category do not appear in reports.
