Entities

​

What are entities?

Entities represent the key targets for applying security and policy features within Repacket. They encompass a wide range of definable objects such as categories, domains, IP ranges, and applications. Configuration of most features in Repacket requires specification of what entities to target.

Entities allow for flexible & targeted controls, enabling you to shape the behavior of the system according to organizational security needs. For example, you can: apply content filtering policies to entire categories, apply Phishing Protection to specific domains, exclude certain features from being used on your internal websites, and much more using entities. This level of flexibility ensures that your network and data remain secure.

Entity types

​

Domains

Domains can be used to apply controls in a more granular fashion. They are mainly used within modules like Phishing Protection and DLP.

​

Categories

Categories encompass a set of domains, and can be used to apply controls broadly. They function in the same way that domains do, you can apply them to modules and content filtering. Repacket provides a large range of categories by default. You can also create custom categories and apply a set of domains to said category, allowing you to easily target multiple domains with a feature quickly.

​

IP Ranges

IP ranges function using CIDR notation and are used to mainly exclude your internal websites from Repacket features.

​

Applications

Applications are specifically used for PHI AI Analysis, within the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) module. You can target specific AI websites like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
