CISCO UMBRELLA. Licensing. CISCO security in the cloud.

Cisco Umbrella is the answer to your cloud security challenges. Cisco Umbrella helps protect your users' Internet access whether they are connecting from your head office, branch offices or roaming. Your systems will be secure anytime, anywhere thanks to protection against malicious Internet addresses. Umbrella acts as a security layer for Internet access and offers deep inspection and control to support security compliance and provide effective protection against threats. Backed by Cisco Talos, one of the world's largest threat intelligence teams, Cisco Umbrella presents threats for better investigation and response. Delivered from the cloud with 100% uptime, Cisco Umbrella provides visibility to protect users anywhere in an up-to-the-minute manner.

Cisco Umbrella is security that adapts to the way we work today:

Protection for Remote and Roaming Users: Your users work from many locations and devices. They no longer need VPN to get the job done: they use cloud applications, many of which have not been vetted by IT. What if you had a quick and easy way to protect users and enforce acceptable use policies? Cyber Threat Protection: Threats continue to increase in sophistication, and the costs of cybercrime continue to rise. But attackers often reuse the same infrastructure in multiple attacks, leaving cyber fingerprints. What if you could use those fingerprints to discover attacks before they are launched? As a cybersecurity manager, your goal is to reduce the time to detect and defend against malware. But with all your security devices, is your network more secure? Are you still flooded with infections? Your security team needs better intelligence, to be fast and to have solutions that are flexible, integrated and easy to deploy and manage.

The evolution of CISCO UMBRELLA.

As a leading provider of recursive DNS services, CISCO has helped businesses of all sizes and industries securely connect to the Internet. CISCO has built a reputation for easy deployment and powerful protection no matter where users are located. To help organizations embrace direct Internet access, in addition toDNS layer security and interactive threat intelligence, Cisco Umbrella now includes the functionality from:
  • secure web gateway
  • firewall in the cloud
  • Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB),
  • further integration with Cisco SD-WAN

Multiple security features in a single cloud security service

DNS layer security

Umbrella DNS Layer Security provides the fastest and 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 on 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 malware protection. Use IPsec tunnels, PAC files or proxy chaining to forward traffic to our cloud-based proxy servers to enforce acceptable use policies and block advanced threats.

Firewall

The Umbrella firewall logs all activity and blocks unwanted traffic by IP, port and protocol rules. To forward traffic, simply set up an IPsec tunnel from any network device. As new tunnels are created, policies are automatically applied for easy configuration and consistent application across the board.
