Question:

• How do I test Websense URL categorization?

Reply:

The Websense categorization used in SWG uses technology from the older brand name SurfControl. You can test URLs using the following link:

http://mtas.surfcontrol.com/mtas/mtas.asp


This page does not require registration.

Notes:

• Websense/SurfControl has several database versions. Trustwave cannot guarantee that SWG will return exactly the same result as the test site. The test site provides the best available information.
• Trustwave does not have a credential for the testing page on the main Websense.com support website.
• The fastest way to ask websense to change URL categorization is just email them to : suggest@websense.com Must state we are using surf control engine + version
