URL Categorization update

FredrikV — Fri, 30 Jun 2023 08:04:20 GMT

Hello,

How often does the Application Control or the Url Filtering blade check for categorization updates?

Users are reporting that they still cannot access a website after Check Point did a categorization update for it yesterday. The site was incorrectly categorized as Spyware/Malicious, but has now been categorized as Sports after we requested a change.

Is it possible for us to trigger an update?

Thanks,

Fredrik

There is no URLF database downloaded to the gateways anymore, URL lookups occur to ThreatCloud on demand.
However, the previous lookup may be cached on the gateway.
