Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C160 Mode D'Emploi

The Cisco Cloud Web Security proxy service has no configurable options in this release. For 
example, there is no threat score threshold to adjust or action to specify based on threat 
score. 

Replace the URL with any text. 

To include the original URL in the text that appears in the message, use the 

$URL

 variable. 

Examples: 

Replace all URLs in the Illegal Downloads category with a note: 

Message from your system administrator: A link to an illegal downloads web site 

has been removed from this message. 

Include the original URL along with a warning: 

WARNING! The following URL may contain malware: $URL

 

This becomes: WARNING: The following URL may contain malware: http://example.com. 

Redirect to a custom proxy or web security service: 

http://custom_proxy/$URL

 

This becomes: http://custom_proxy/http://example.com 

The reputation and category of URLs that are included on the selected URL whitelist or on the global 
URL whitelist are not evaluated. 

If you defang or replace URLs, you can choose to ignore URLs in signed messages. 

Pairing a URL Reputation or URL Category action with a URL Reputation or URL Category condition 
(or rule) is not recommended. If you pair a condition (rule) and action that include different categories, 
then no match occurs. 

To check the category of a particular URL, visit the link in 

. 

 

 

Based on the evaluation by the Cisco Cloud Web Security proxy service: 

If the site is benign, the user is directed to the target web site and has no knowledge that the link has 
been redirected. 

If the site is malicious, the user sees a notice that the site is malicious and access to it has been 
blocked.
