Cisco Umbrella – protection against phishing, malware and ransomware
Cisco Umbrella – secure your network!
Cisco Umbrella DNS Security protects users against Internet threats such as malware, phishing, viruses and other unidentified threats known as "Zero day" threats. It protects all users, both those working in the local network and those connected remotely via VPN. Cisco Umbrella is another element of corporate network security, apart from the one we described earlier Cisco DUO.
Cisco Umbrella DNS Security is a solution available from the cloud and does not require any resources on the client's side. It works by preventing threats by blocking access to Internet resources with a low and suspicious reputation. It is based on several dozen URL categories that can be blocked or made available to users or their groups using configurable policies.
Cisco Umbrella DNS Security works by redirecting DNS queries to Cisco cloud servers, which check the reputation of websites visited by users. The whole thing is based on resources created by one of the leading cybersecurity teams - Cisco Talos Intelligence Group. Thanks to this approach, Cisco Umbrella protects against known and identified threats, but also against unknown threats by blocking access to malicious domains, URLs and files.
Cisco Umbrella DNS Security perfectly fits the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, which have recently been frequent targets of attacks due to the lack of advanced security systems. SMEs have less specialized IT teams and limited budgets, which results in the increased use of simpler Internet gateways that do not protect against most new threats coming from the Internet. Cisco Umbrella protection is additionally extended to remote and mobile users, which can be a good complement to the security system also in larger organizations.
Cisco Umbrella DNS Security is a system configured and managed via a web browser. The management system allows for quick implementation of the basic scope of protection. The solution can be extended by integration with directory services, recognizing users and groups, assigning various policies to them, identifying workstations and their configurations, as well as collecting data and analyzing user traffic and existing threats. The whole thing is monitored using ready-made panels and tools available to the administrator.
Cisco Umbrella DNS Security can work with MDM systems managing mobile devices, ensuring their protection by redirecting DNS queries, with the Cisco DUO system providing two-factor authentication. Cisco Umbrella is an integral part of the Cisco Secure Client (AnyConnect) suite necessary for VPN connections.
