Question:
URL Threat Filter on the firewall appears to be functioning normally, even though the Gold Security Pack license is not activated. We can adjust settings, and the security logs show recent block times. How is this possible?

Answer:
URL Threat Filter (Cloud Query) functionality can operate when the Content Filtering service license is active. This specific feature does not require the Gold Security Pack. The Gold Security Pack includes additional services like IP Reputation and DNS Threat Filter.
