The below table shows the relative mapping between BrightCloud URL categories and PAN-DB URL categories. As part of the PAN-DB license activation process, if existing URL filtering profiles are found, PAN-OS will automatically map those policies to use the new PAN-DB categories using the mapping below. In the case of N:1 mappings, the most severe action will be used for the new PAN-DB category.
As always, please be sure to save your configuration before making any changes, and double-check that the URL profile is correct after the migration process.
