Does Sophos intercept x for mobile uses a url based filtering method for web filtering protection or is it a signature based?

Like if its a signature based method then it would be able to block a malicious website even if its not present in sophos blacklist database, based on the underlying code of the website.

Hi Sohan Ray,

Websites are categorized based on data from SophosLabs, and that data is updated constantly.

Thanks,
