Abstract
The devices and methods relate to web categorization of web requests. The devices and methods may perform a two-step classification of the web requests. The first classification may provide potential web categories for web request based on a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the web request. The first classification may be used to determine whether transport layer security (TLS) termination may be performed on the web request. The second classification may provide a web category for a uniform resource locator (URL) of the web request after performing the TLS termination. The web category may be used by a firewall in filtering web traffic for the web request.
