Top-level domain (TLD) categories are URL categories that give you the ability to group together TLDs for use in the following policies:

• DNS Control
• File Type Control
• Firewall Filtering
• IPS Control
• Sandbox
• DLP Policy with Content Inspection
• DLP Policy without Content Inspection
• Forwarding Control
• SSL Inspection
• URL Filtering

You can use TLD categories in policies to control access to domains for a specific country or to block access to TLDs that might be used solely for malicious purposes.
