Changes to Cisco Talos’ Content and Threat Category lists
Summary: Cisco Talos announced updates to its Content Categories beginning Jan. 21 for customers on Cisco platforms that receive Talos Intelligence, and changes to its Threat Categories on Feb. 8. Talos said the changes allow sites to be more discretely categorized, and it recommends customers revisit acceptable use and security policies before the update to see if the changes affect current operations.
Why it matters: Category changes land on two fixed dates, Jan. 21 and Feb. 8, and Talos itself points to acceptable use and security policies as the place to check first - so any policy or block rule keyed to the old categories can shift behavior without anyone editing it.
