DNS Content Category Changes

To align with Cisco Talos' Intelligence Categories, Umbrella is updating and migrating its content categories. Updates include the addition of new content categories, changes to current content categories, and the reclassification of some destinations. Listed here are the original content categories (now legacy Umbrella content categories) alongside the equivalent new Talos-based content categories.

Note: All new instances of Umbrella include Umbrella's new Talos-based content categories.

Note: Legacy categories Adware and Web Spam are deprecated and will not be migrated to new categories. Any destinations that currently fall under these categories are covered by equivalent security categories Malware and Phishing Attacks. For more information, see DNS Security Categories. Additionally, Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) will be migrated automatically to Child Abuse Content (CAC) and is not expected to be visible in the migration tool. The IWF destination feed will be fully ingested into CAC, and will remain a part of the CAC category's data feed.

New Content Categories

In addition to legacy content categories migrating to Talos content categories, Umbrella added new content categories from Talos. For full content category definitions, see DNS Content Categories.
