Introducing Automatic URL Categorization: Enhanced Security and Efficiency

Security administrators work hard to enhance security with detailed policy creation. At Check Point, we are constantly striving to enhance the security and efficiency of our solutions to support security teams. Our new feature, Automatic URL Categorization, helps your team make the most of their security policies.

This capability leverages advanced machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) to provide superior URL classification, ensuring security policies are applied accurately.

NLP-Based URL Classification Key Highlights:

• Improved Accuracy: Our expanded URL categorization significantly improves classification accuracy for public websites, boosting it from 91% to 98%. This enhancement ensures that customers benefit from more precise and reliable URL filtering.
• Rapid Classification: Over the past 30 days alone, this expanded system has successfully classified 50,000 URLs. This rapid processing capability is crucial in maintaining robust security, as it enables swift identification.
• Comprehensive Availability: Automatic URL Categorization is now available to all customers across all supported versions of Check Point’s Quantum Network Security, Harmony SASE, and CloudGuard Network solutions.

Understanding Automatic URL Categorization

This expanded capability analyzes website content and categorizes URLs in most major languages. URL Categorization enables firewall security policies to be accurately applied to previously unclassified or novel websites.
