Use this template to globally enable and configure Secure Web Services on appliances. Your appliances must be licensed to use Secure Web Services. For detailed information about Secure Web Services and licensing, see Secure Web Services.

    Field Description
    Enable URL Classification Move the toggle to the right to enable the URL classification feature on appliances.
    Incremental Update (for URL Classification) Select this check box to enable real-time updates to appliance URL classification databases.
    Query on miss Select this check box to enable query on miss of URL classification.

    When categorization of a queried URL is not available in the current URL-related threat intelligence database, the query is sent over the network to the cloud-based OpenText™ Threat Intelligence (BrightCloud) platform. The asynchronous response is then internally cached so that future queries for the URL category and reputation will return information successfully.
    Unclassified URL Reputation From the drop-down list, select a risk category to assign to flows that do not have URL reputation score information in the current URL-related threat intelligence database. Risk categories are:

    High Risk (1 - 20)

    Suspicious (21 - 40)

    Moderate Risk (41 - 60)

    Low Risk (61 - 80)

    Trustworthy (81 - 100)

    The default risk category is High Risk.
    Enable IP Reputation Move the toggle to the right to enable the IP reputation feature on appliances.
    Incremental Update (for IP Reputation) Select this check box to enable real-time updates to appliance IP reputation databases.
