Cisco Umbrella uses the internet’s infrastructure to block malicious destinations before a connection is ever established. By delivering security from the cloud, not only do you save money, but we also provide more effective security:
- Umbrella uses DNS to stop threats over all ports and protocols — even direct-to-IP connections. Stop malware before it reaches your endpoints or network.
- Instead of proxying all web traffic, Umbrella routes requests to risky domains for deeper URL and file inspection. Effectively protect without delay or performance impact.
- Even if devices become infected in other ways, Umbrella prevents connections to attacker’s servers. Stop data ex-filtration and execution of ransomware encryption.
Cisco Umbrella is an agent-based security layer so users benefit from the same protection regardless of whether they are in the office, delegation, or home network. For IT Infrastructure Managers, Umbrella provides visibility into the URLs accessed by each user, from each device, from any location, and blocks attacks before they reach the network or the device. Being a cloud-based solution, an open platform, Umbrella can be easily integrated with today’s security systems, providing real-time information about current and ongoing threats.
Most security solutions make data traffic more difficult by further processing of data checks. Umbrella only analyzes the DNS before setting up the connection. Respond to the IP of the searched server in a very short time if it is supported. If unsupported, Umbrella send an administrator-set message for blocked sites. But the answer comes very quickly, so users could even notice an improvement in the speed of accessing the sites.
