Assigning categories to risk classes

The Forcepoint URL Database organizes categories into risk classes. Risk classes suggest possible types or levels of vulnerability posed by sites in those categories.

Risk classes are used primarily in reporting. The Status > Dashboard page includes charts that track Internet activity by risk class, and you can generate presentation or investigative reports organized by risk class.

Use the Settings > General > Risk Classes page to review or change which categories comprise each risk class.

Steps

Select an entry in the Risk Classes list.
Review the Categories list to see which categories are currently included in that risk class.

A check mark shows that the category is currently assigned to the selected risk class. The asterisk (*) indicates categories that are included in the risk class by default.

Categories added using the Management API are automatically added to Security Risk and become part of the default list of categories for that risk class. See the Management API Guide for details.

Mark or clear entries in the category tree to include or exclude a category from the selected risk class. Categories can belong to more than one risk class.

Other choices include:

Option	Description
Select All	Selects all categories in the tree.
Clear All	Deselects all categories in the tree.
Restore Defaults	Resets the category choices for the selected risk class to those provided by the web protection software. An asterisk (*) indicates a default category.

Repeat this process for each risk class.
