Web Content Discovery

The Web Content Discovery report provides an organization with a comprehensive look at its web content activity and users accessing its network. This report allows organizations to identify which web content categories and activities pose the greatest risk to their networks and which devices are accessing the content. The report includes data about the top-accessed web content categories, high-risk categories, and devices accessing the high-risk web content. This data can then be used to filter and pivot across categories and assets, allowing organizations to take the necessary steps to protect their network from from risk of infection and/or policy violation, which could endanger the organization.

The new interface in the Web Content Discovery report provides organizations with a comprehensive look at their web traffic activity and the associated risks. This report identifies all known web traffic by category, and it identifies specific categories associated with a higher risk to organizations. The data reported in the Web Content Discovery report is collected before security policy rules are applied. This allows organizations to identify threats and create appropriate security and organizational policies to address the threats. The updated Web Content Discovery report adds the ability to pivot to to the DNS Activity Report where filtered traffic specific to what is being drilled into can be viewed. 

Organizations can provide feedback for any specific domain categorization by running a Dossier search and submitting the Dossier feedback form located on the Dossier Summary page. The Web Content Discovery can be accessed by going to MonitorReports > Web Content Discovery. This new interface helps organizations identify high-risk activities across their network and take the necessary steps to protect their network from potential attacks.

A representative screenshot of a web content discovery dashboard. The interface is divided into multiple sections with a dark background and predominantly green and white text, giving it a professional and technical look. The dashboard is designed to monitor web traffic and is categorized by specific content categories. It's noted that the data shown is not affected by any policies and that some categories may expose the environment to additional risk, which is indicated within the dashboard.
