About Category Revisions

Netsweeper is committed to improving our products and services.  As part of this commitment, we continually review and revise our world-leading categorization.

This is done through our Category Revisions, allowing us to refine our categories whilst allowing our customers to upgrade the Revision they use when it is appropriate for them.

Category Revision Table

The following table lists information about each category version, including the releases that apply the category version, and the categories that changed.
