New Forcepoint URL Database categories and protocols

When new categories and protocols are added to the Forcepoint URL Database, each is assigned a default action, like Permit or Block (see Actions).

• The default action is applied in all active category and protocol filters (see Working with filters). To change the way the category or protocol is filtered, you can:
  • Edit each active filter individually. Use this option if you want to give different groups of clients different levels of access to the category or protocol.
  • Edit the attributes of the category or protocol to apply the same action in all filters. See Making global category changes and Making global protocol changes.
• The default action is based on feedback regarding whether or not the sites or protocols in question are generally considered business-appropriate.

You can have a system alert generated whenever new categories or protocols are added to the Forcepoint URL Database. See Alerting, for more information.
