I've come across a strange something I've never seen before in web categorisation. There is a link that Is currently getting blocked on of my FG's. Looking at the logs on the FAZ it was Categorised as Advertising but when looking on FortiGuard's web filter lookup It has the category of business. Creating a simple exemption would get me access to the link but was just wondering why there would be this difference. FG is running on 7.0 could it just be the OS version the FG is on?

Hi sorry for my wording on the original post this is third party equipment not my own so I'd only be able to share logs with Tac. However, is was able to resolve this internally, Looks like it was just bad timing when running the query on FortiGuard. the Subdomain sp1-brevo.net had not been updated to match brevo.net's web category when the site was accessed and when i ran the Query it had only just been updated. Thanks for taking the time to respond though :)
