While Dinesh is technically correct, I almost never see a customer using the ASA regex filtering. (And i have seen several hundred installations.)
Web filtering using Cisco products is most often done with the Web Security Appliance (WSA). the other two common ways are with the FirePOWER URL filtering feature or the (now end of sales) CX NGFW,

Hello Marvin
Thanks for your information .
Can you please explain me more about FirePOWER URL filtering feature ? Is it a ASA inbuilt feature or I will have to go for a dedicated device for this setup ?
Currently I have a Cisco ASA 5515X with iOS 9.2 firewall which is used to control access for inside network . Can the firepower device integrated with Cisco ASA 5515X with iOS 9.2 ? IF yes ..how to do so ?

URL filtering is one of the license types available for the ASA with FirePOWER services module. See this data sheet for an overview.
ASA 5500X series have an optional solid state drive (SSD) and a software module type that they can run. You can check what yours has with:
show inventory show module
The FirePOWER module is the "sfr" type which was introduced as of AS version 9.2(2) in Fall 2014. The other two type are the classic IPS and CX NGFW modules ("ips" and "cxsc") - both now end of sales but sill in use in many networks.
If you have a 5515X without the SSD or FirePOWER module, you can upgrade to add it.
You also need to manage the module with an external FireSIGHT Management Center. That runs as a VM in your VMware ESXi environment. It is required for all but the new entry level platforms (5506, 5508 and 5516 appliances).
