How severity is assigned to suspicious activity

Web Security Help | Web Security Solutions | Version 7.8.x

The Websense Master Database assigns a severity level to threat-related events based on the category assigned to the request.

Severity levels are mapped to categories in the Websense Master Database, and may change when the Master Database is updated.

Websense Web Filter and Websense Web Security subscriptions do not include some or all categories with High and Critical severity levels. These categories may appear on the Threats dashboard, but cannot be managed in category filters.

Click the Severity Mapping link near the top of the Threats dashboard for a current list of the categories that have an associated severity ranking. The list indicates any categories that are not available for filtering with your subscription.
