Cisco Secure URL Subscription for SSL Inspection
The Cisco Secure URL subscription is essential for organizations deploying advanced SSL Inspection (SSLi) gateway solutions. This subscription service delivers real-time URL categorization and reputation data specifically designed for outbound SSL/TLS inspection deployments. If you're securing encrypted traffic across your network perimeter while maintaining visibility into HTTPS communications, this subscription provides the intelligence layer required for effective threat prevention and policy enforcement.
Designed for enterprise security teams managing Cisco SSLi bundles on platforms like the RD-9800S-SLI, RD-7612S-HSLI, and RD-6024S-SLI, the Secure URL subscription ensures your gateway can accurately categorize and assess encrypted web traffic in real-time. This is critical for organizations that need to inspect outbound SSL/TLS connections without compromising performance or user experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SSL Inspection and why do I need URL categorization?
SSL Inspection (SSLi) allows organizations to decrypt, inspect, and re-encrypt HTTPS traffic to enforce security policies on encrypted connections. URL categorization within SSLi enables you to block malicious sites, enforce acceptable use policies, and detect threats hidden in encrypted traffic—something impossible without this subscription service.
Is the Secure URL subscription required for my Cisco SSLi gateway?
Yes, the Secure URL subscription is required specifically for outbound SSL/TLS inspection deployments. It provides the real-time reputation and categorization data your gateway needs to make intelligent policy decisions on encrypted web traffic. Without it, your SSLi gateway cannot effectively categorize or assess HTTPS connections.
Which Cisco platforms support this Secure URL subscription?
This subscription (L-RD-SURL-9K-1Y) is compatible with Cisco SSLi bundle deployments on the RD-9800S-SLI, RD-7612S-HSLI, and RD-6024S-SLI hardware platforms. Verify your specific platform requirements before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
How often is the URL categorization data updated?
The Secure URL subscription delivers real-time URL categorization and reputation intelligence, ensuring your gateway has current threat data for outbound SSL/TLS inspection. This continuous update model protects against emerging threats and newly discovered malicious domains.
