Hi @cylusaragao ,
URL filtering is a Layer 7 mechanism and Cortex operates on Layer 3. For IPs we can suggest using Cortex XDR host firewalls.
For URLs, there is no mechanism as such to block the URL. There is one method to create BIOC rules for incoming, outgoing and failed network connections(do not add the raw packets), and then add the domains to the list. Once created, you can add the BIOC to restrictions profiles.
Please note, we work on process instances termination and not network termination. Hence the above mentioned step is regressive as any network connection made using browsers for the URL will kill the browser itself and not just the network connection. As a result, all other browser tabs will also shutdown. As a result, this is can be done for 1 or 2 URLs but not a very recommended action. It is recommended to setup a firewall configuration for URL filtering.
Hope this helps.
