Umbrella resolves your most pressing challenges
Block malware without latency
Umbrella is a cloud-native platform built into the foundation of the internet. By enforcing security at the DNS and
IP layers, Umbrella blocks requests to malware, ransomware, phishing, and botnets before a connection is even
established — stopping threats over any port or protocol before they reach your network or endpoints. With our
selective proxy, it offers deeper inspection of URLs and files for risky domains using antivirus engines and Cisco
Advanced Malware Protection (AMP). Umbrella even blocks direct IP connections from command and control
callbacks for roaming users.
Improve visibility
Most companies leave their DNS resolution up to their ISP. But as more organizations adopt direct internet
connections and users bypass the VPN, this leads to a DNS-blind spot. DNS requests precede the IP connection,
which enables DNS resolvers to log requested domains regardless of the connection's protocol or port. Monitoring
DNS requests, as well as subsequent IP connections is an easy way to provide better accuracy and detection of
compromised systems, improving security visibility and network protection.
Manage and control cloud apps
Umbrella provides visibility into sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud services in use across the enterprise, so you can
uncover new services being used, see who is using them, identify potential risk, and block specific applications easily.
Simplify security management
Umbrella is the fastest and easiest way to protect all of your users enterprise-wide in minutes, and reduces the
number of infections and alerts you see from other security products by stopping threats at the earliest point. Win no
hardware to install and no software to manually update, ongoing management is simple.
