Talos Blog
Beginning Jan. 21, customers using Cisco platforms that receive Talos Intelligence will see updates to our Content Categories. The changes will allow sites to be more discretely categorized resulting in a better understanding of the siteâs context. These changes include:

Four new regionally restricted categories (Great Britain, Italy, Germany, and Poland) designed to help our customers address restrictions that specific countries or territories may require. Please refer to your Cisco product community for the availability of this functionality. An introduction of 15 new Content Categories Four new regionally restricted categories (Great Britain, Italy, Germany, and Poland) designed to help our customers address restrictions that specific countries or territories may require. Please refer to your Cisco product community for the availability of this functionality. Two existing Content Categories will be split into four new Content Categories designed to provide more granular context for sites, allowing for more accurate management of web traffic. âHealth and Nutritionâ will split into âRecipes and Foodâ and âHealth and Medicine.â âNatureâ will become âNature and Conservationâ and âAnimals and Pets.â Two of our Threat Categories â âDynamic DNSâ and âDNS tunnelingâ â will become new Content Categories that will prevent these types of sites from evading corporate security measures. These categories represent addresses that are not inherently malicious, though some customers may still choose to block them as part of their security posture.
