alphaMountain domain & IP intelligence powers leading network security products and services. Learn more about how you can implement our URL classification or request a free trial of our API.
URL Classification Use Cases
The primary use case for classification is access control policy. Whether these policies are security or productivity related, a reliable classification system will ensure that your users can create and enforce access policies based on the known content of websites and hosts.
Common URL Classification Deployments for Cybersecurity
Secure Browsers
Enterprise secure browsers and plugins manage and enforce access policies for users accessing websites. Up to date categorization enables wholesale allow or deny policies based on the category of the content on the host.
Secure Gateways
Secure gateways sit between user devices and the network, enabling control over what sites can and cannot be accessed on the network. A category feed or local category database enables on-demand classification at scale.
DNS
DNS providers use URL classification to identify and potentially act on connection requests upstream from end user devices. With classification enabled, DNS providers can limit or prescribe how certain types of content are accessed.
