Cisco Umbrella
Modern cybersecurity, streamlined and scalable
Security should be simple. Discover how Cisco Umbrella can easily and effectively stop threats before they reach your users or network.
DNS is at the heart of every internet connection request. Securing the DNS layer means blocking malicious domains, IP addresses, and cloud applications before a connection is ever established. More than 30,000 organizations use Umbrella DNS to deliver a fast, safe, and reliable internet experience that is simple to deploy and easy to manage.
Umbrella SIG includes DNS-layer Security and adds secure web gateway (SWG), cloud access security broker (CASB), data loss prevention (DLP), malware protection, cloud-delivered firewall, and remote browser isolation (RBI), all converged in a single solution with unified management.
Cisco Secure Access is the evolution of Umbrella. It includes core Umbrella SIG components plus zero trust network access (ZTNA) and Experience Insights to connect users anywhere seamlessly and securely to any apps from any devices, simplify operations for information security teams, and mitigate risk to maintain business continuity.

Cisco Umbrella’s security functions
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.
