Category Rule Conditions

You can optionally choose to include categories in your decryption policies. These categories, also referred to as URL filtering, are updated by the Cisco Talos intelligence group. Updates are based on machine learning and human analysis according to content that is retrievable from the website destination and sometimes from its hosting and registration information. Categorization is not based on the declared company vertical, intent, or security.

For more information, see URL Filtering Overview.

If you are using category rule conditions in decryption policies in a rule with the Do Not Decrypt rule action, see Decryption Rule Do Not Decrypt Action.
