Dynamic URL Classification

Dynamic URL classification looks at the textual contents of a page and dynamically determines the category for the uncategorized URLs. This feature is turned off by default.

After a page has been dynamically categorized, the classification applies to all of your tenant instances. The page classification to a category expires every 12 hours so that if any changes occur to the page, the content is re-evaluated so the chosen category matches the current page content.

To use dynamic URL classification:

  1. Click Settings > Security Cloud Platform > Configuration and go to the Dynamic URL Classification section.

    Uncategorized URLs that are encountered during a users web browsing session will be dynamically classified into predefined categories.
