Purpose: The purpose of this thread is to help us better advise customer on the impact on Web Filtering Behaviour[/b] of going to 9.3xx[/b]
Backstory: With 9.3xx, Sophos have changed the default categorisation from CFFS a.k.a McAfee TrustedSource SmartFilter XL to SXL aka Sophos XL Categorisation. This change is a long time coming since McAfee acquired TrustedSource, and Sophos acquired Astaro - when Sophos already had their in-house categorisation engine.
Differences
Gone from 3 categories per website to 1 category per website. Things that were blocked/allowed will change. Trusted Source uses upto three categories, whereas Sophos uses only one. So if a profile uses a secondary categorisation, then this will be lost - assuming that SXL has the same primary categorisation as CFFS.
Questions
Do the old and new categories lineup/overlap/superset/etc.? E.g. do we still have Incidental Nudity - essential to enable for Fashion Students in colleges.
Speed. Is SXL faster than memory-cached CFFS?
Choice. Are we forced to use only SXL from 9.3xx onwards?
Documentation. Where do we find it?
Cyberoam. What do they use and is it better than SXL? Will we have to change again?
