The evolution of our cloud security service
As a leading provider of recursive DNS services, we’ve helped businesses of all sizes and industries connect to the internet with confidence. We’ve built a reputation on easy deployment and powerful protection anywhere users work.
To help organizations embrace direct internet access, in addition to DNS-layer security and interactive threat intelligence, Cisco Umbrella now includes secure web gateway, firewall, and cloud access security broker (CASB) functionality, plus integration with Cisco SD-WAN, delivered from a single cloud security service.
Integrated cloud security service benefits
Flexible security protection on and off network
Consistent policies across remote locations
Better performance and user satisfaction everywhere
Multiple security functions in a single cloud security service
DNS-layer security
Umbrella’s DNS-layer security provides the fastest, easiest way to improve your security. It helps improve security visibility, detect compromised systems, and protect your users on and off the network by stopping threats over any port or protocol before they reach your network or endpoints.
Secure web gateway
Umbrella’s secure web gateway logs and inspects web traffic for full visibility, URL and application controls, and protection against malware. Use IPsec tunnels, PAC files, or proxy chaining to forward traffic to our cloud-based proxy to enforce acceptable use policies and block advanced threats.
Firewall
Umbrella’s firewall logs all activity and blocks unwanted traffic using IP, port, and protocol rules. To forward traffic, simply configure an IPsec tunnel from any network device. As new tunnels are created, policies are automatically applied for easy setup and consistent enforcement everywhere.
Cloud access security broker
Umbrella exposes shadow IT by providing the ability to detect and report on cloud applications in use across your organization. For discovered apps, view details on the risk level and block or control usage to better manage cloud adoption and reduce risk.
Interactive threat intelligence
Our unique view of the internet gives us unprecedented insight into malicious domains, IPs, and URLs. Available via a console and API, Umbrella Investigate provides real-time context on malware, phishing, botnets, trojans and other threats enabling faster incident investigation and response.
Integration with SD‑WAN
The Umbrella and Cisco SD‑WAN integration deploys easily across your network for powerful cloud security and protection against internet threats. Our integrated approach secures cloud access and efficiently protects your branch users, connected devices, and app usage from all direct internet access breakouts.
A secure fit for all businesses
From small businesses without dedicated security professionals to multinational enterprises with complex environments, our packages are designed to provide the feature-functionality needed for any business. Umbrella offers three primary packages that provide increasingly more sophisticated capabilities for increased flexibility, visibility, and control.
Our cloud security service advantage
Unmatched intelligence
Powered by Cisco Talos, one of the world’s largest commercial threat teams, Umbrella blocks malicious activity earlier, before it reaches your network or endpoints. Umbrella also uses statistical and machine learning models to uncover new attacks staged on the internet.
Reliable infrastructure
Highly resilient cloud infrastructure with 100% business uptime since inception in 2006. With more than 30 data centers globally, Umbrella delivers superior speed by peering with over 1,000 of the world’s top internet service providers.
Easily integrates
Umbrella offers APIs to more easily deploy and share intelligence and security event details with your security systems and workflows. Get more out of your existing investments and speed up incident response.
Cisco SecureX Extends the Value of Umbrella
SecureX combines Umbrella data and threat intelligence with data from third-party security tools and a variety of Cisco security and networking solutions to provide increased visibility and faster investigations. Automated playbooks simplify many steps in the traditional threat hunting, detection, reporting, case management and remediation processes. SecureX is included as a fundamental part of Umbrella packages.
