About the Cisco Umbrella

Cisco Umbrella is a cloud-delivered security service that provides the first line of defense against internet threats wherever users go. It acts as a Secure Internet Gateway (SIG), consolidating multiple security functions like DNS-layer security, secure web gateway (SWG), cloud-delivered firewall (CDFW), cloud access security broker (CASB), and threat intelligence into a single, integrated platform. By leveraging Cisco's global network and threat intelligence, Umbrella blocks malicious domains, IPs, URLs, and files before they can reach a user's network or endpoint, effectively preventing malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks. It offers complete visibility into internet activity across all locations, devices, and users, and extends protection to roaming users and branch offices without adding latency. Umbrella is a key component of Cisco's SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) architecture, simplifying security operations and enhancing overall security posture.
