Redirected URLs: What Does the End User Experience?

Based on the evaluation by the Cisco Cloud Web Security proxy service:

• If the site is benign, the user is directed to the target web site and has no knowledge that the link has

been redirected.

• If the site is malicious, the user sees a notice that the site is malicious and access to it has been

blocked.

You can customize the appearance of end user notification page and display your organization’s

branding such as company logo, contact information, and so on. See Customizing the Appearance

of End User Notification Page, page 15-6.

• If communication with the Cisco Cloud Web Security proxy service times out, the user is allowed

to access the target web site.

• If any other error occurs, the user sees a notice.
