Ironport URL misclassification

petrisimolin — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 05:34:48 GMT

Hello Cisco,

I have noticed that Ironport is classifying our forums as ""Pornography;Newsgroups/Forums".

Correct classification would be: "Newsgroups/Forums".

Please advise how to corrrect this.

Best regards,

Hi Petri,

You can actually log into cisco.com -> Security -> IronPort Web Security Appliances -> Cisco IronPort Web Usage Controls Category Lookup tool and subit the URL to be categprized. Once your in the tool click on the Lookup or Submit URLs tab -> Select the appropriate AsyncOS version -> Input the URL which is categorized incorrectly and select lookup. Once it process the URL you can then submit it for another category. Sometimes it may take a few trys before it will be re-categorized.

URL to the tool located below:

Thank you for prompt reply.

The link you have provided returns "Sorry!!! Uncorrect Ironport contract, please open a ticket with support."

We don't have any kind of contract with Cisco at the moment and our intention is just to correct the categorisation of our forums. It is currently categorised as adult entertainment but the correct categorisation is "Jokes; Internet humour; Newsgroups/Forums".

I can provide sample URLs.

Best regards,

Petri Simolin

Hi,

I was having problems with my website being miscategorised a while ago, but I can't find a way to check its category now, as I don't have any connection with Cisco other than my account used to visit this forum. Could you please check my site and if it doesn't already show up, could it be classified as "Online Communities" or whatever is most appropriate for my forum?

http://www.britmodeller.com/forums

Is it also possible for a checker to be introduced that doesn't involve being a customer of Cisco? It seems unfair that you can classify our sites at your discretion, but we can't find an easy way to find out that classification, or do anything about it unless we stumble on this page. The frequent name changes of the product haven't done anything to make that task easier either.

TIA

we are not cisco's client but some of our prospect are and can't use our solution.

Thanks a lot

I would love to add the website to certain category classification, unfortunately, I don't have an appropriate account to make those changes.

The website which I wish to change is used as Filter avoidance tool however it isn't marked as such: www.expressvpn.com

Could you please help me out regarding this pressing matter.

Petri & Others,

Where do you find the classification for your website? Also, where can I get the WBRS rating for my website? Will changing the classification help improve the WBRS rating?
