SECUI provides a feature to identify the category of a website based on its WebFilter database. This feature is especially useful for network administrators before applying filtering policies, as it helps ensure whether a site should be blocked, allowed, or monitored.
This guide will help you check a website's category directly from the SECUI interface without the need for any external tools.

Checking the category of a website before applying WebFilter rules is important to ensure that the policy aligns with your network’s needs and doesn’t unintentionally block important sites. With SECUI’s built-in category check feature, you can easily identify how a website is classified in the WebFilter database.
