Custom Category

The custom category feature offers flexibility to supersede the predefined Netskope URL category mapping for a given URL and/or augment them by defining custom URL categories. This is helpful for situations in which the Netskope predefined URL category does not have a mapping for a URL (uncategorized). When creating a custom category, you can select a combination of predefined categories and URL lists. Netskope treats custom categories as a separate category to the predefined ones, and you must add it to an existing policy or create a new one to enforce it. You must have the Netskope Secure Web Gateway license to create custom categories.

To create a new custom category:

  1. Go to Policies > Web > Custom Categories.
