Poor detection rate of web filtering - caused by wrong categorization or stay many websites uncategorized?

Question

Hi, 
 
 XG has an poor detection rate in webfiltering, e.g. when trying to open websites of denied web categories like "nudity" or trying to open malware infected pages. 
 Is this caused by putting new websites in wrong web categories, or is this because new websites are getting categorized too slow? 
 If the problem is only that new websites are getting categorized too slow, the simplest workaround is to deny uncategorized websites.

Hi Meghan, 
 We will be implementing a change and replace WINGc (the lookup mechanism) with SXL in v17, but the database still remains the same. I confused it with the database in my previous reply. We have done some test and our database has better coverage then the trustedsource. There may be some geographical areas where the statement could be vice-versa but SXL will help with performance, and it will allow Sophos Labs to provide more real-time updating of malicious sites. 
 Thank You,
