Artica empowers administrators to populate and update web-filtering categories by integrating custom sources stored on the Internet
A category can be filled via an external source such as HTTP/HTTPs.
You can add several sources address for one category.
This feature allows you to:
- Leverage External Feeds:
Seamlessly pull in specialized or industry-specific lists to ensure your filtering categories stay current. - Consolidate Multiple Sources:
Combine community-driven blocklists, professional threat feeds, and your own custom repositories for comprehensive coverage. - Automate Updates:
Schedule regular synchronizations to keep your filtering rules dynamic and responsive to the latest threats and undesirable content. - Fine-Tune Policies:
Merge external entries with existing categories to tailor filtering rules that align with your organization’s unique security and compliance needs.
By supporting custom online sources, Artica delivers flexible, real-time management of your web-filtering environment.
- Create a new category.
- Select the new created category
- Click on the External Sources tab
- Click on the “New source” button.
- Set the full URL to your http resource.
- When adding new records, the task will ensure that the added domain is not already stored in other categories.
If you want to keep this verification, use the force option.
- After several minutes, you will see the number of parsed lines and the number of records accepted and saved in the category.
- Categories that stores external sources have a dedicated icon that allows you to quick understand that this category is filled automatically from an external source.
