Every application pattern delivered with the Application Control database of a CloudGen Firewall contains a risk classification. The risk classification extends the category of each application to allow an even more granular classification of single applications. Depending on the common usage and reputation, the risk classification may vary from 1 (low risk) to 4 (high risk).
Barracuda Networks continuously observes web application reputations and keeps you up-to-date on the latest risk classifications. However, in some cases it may be necessary to manually override risk classification.
