Objects and Certificates Object Management Geolocation

Last updated: Jul 29, 2025

Geolocation

Each geolocation object you configure represents one or more countries or continents that the system has identified as the source or destination of traffic on your monitored network. You can use geolocation objects in various places in the system’s web interface, including access control policies, SSL policies, remote access VPN, and event searches. For example, you could write an access control rule that blocks traffic to or from certain countries.

To ensure that you are using up-to-date information to filter your network traffic, Cisco strongly recommends that you regularly update your Geolocation Database (GeoDB).
