Content Security performs web page content analysis to discover security threats and malicious code in HTTP and HTTPS content (HTTPS when Content Gateway SSL support is enabled).

Use the Settings > Scanning > Scanning Options page to enable and configure content security.

Select Off to disable content analysis.

Select On (default) to enable content analysis for uncategorized sites and sites with elevated risk profiles, as identified by Websense Security Labs.

Select Aggressive analysis to analyze content from sites with elevated risk profiles and also sites with lower risk profiles. This option consumes additional system resources.

When you are finished, click OK to cache your changes. Changes are not implemented until you click Save and Deploy.

Use the Settings > Scanning > Scanning Exceptions page to specify untrusted or trusted sites that are always analyzed or never analyzed (Scanning exceptions).

Content analysis sensitivity is tuned by Websense Security Labs to provide the best results for most organizations. However, if the Optimized setting does not produce the results you expect, you can adjust the sensitivity in the Advanced options section.
