FortiGuard URL Database Categories are based upon the web content viewing suitability of three major groups: enterprises, schools, and home/family. They also take into account requirements for internet management. The categories are defined to be easily manageable and patterned to industry standards.
Each category contains websites or web pages that have been assigned based on their dominant web content. A website or webpage is categorized into a specific category that is likely to be blocked according to its content. When a website contains elements in different categories, web pages on the site are separately categorized.
The strength of Fortinet's platform-driven approach is to enable coordinated workflows including response while customers benefit from a globalized network effect across Fortinet’s worldwide install base. The FortiGuard URL Filtering Service is integrated into the following Fabric solutions:

Block access to certain Google accounts and services while allowing access to accounts with domains in the exception list.
