Cisco Umbrella: A Leader in the GigaOm Radar for DNS Security

Domain Name System (DNS) is fundamental to every internet connection request, acting as the internet’s phonebook. However, it’s also a potential vulnerability if not adequately protected. By securing the DNS layer, organizations can block malicious domains and IP addresses before a connection is even established, providing a security shield against some of the most common cyber threats.

We’re proud to share that Cisco Umbrella has been distinguished as a leader in the 2024 GigaOm Radar for DNS Security report. This recognition from industry experts is a testament to our dedication to innovation and our deep understanding of the security challenges organizations face.

Want to learn more about the highlights from the GigaOm Radar Report? Be sure to join our experts on July 25th at 11am PT | 2pm ET for a webinar covering key insights into the state of DNS-layer security.

GigaOm names Cisco Umbrella as a DNS Security Leader

The 2024 GigaOm Radar analyst report offers an in-depth examination of 11 top DNS security solutions, evaluating them across various criteria, such as scalability, performance, total cost of ownership, and more. This comprehensive analysis serves as an essential resource for cybersecurity decision-makers aiming to invest in the most effective DNS security for their enterprise.

The GigaOm Radar for DNS Security showing Cisco Umbrella as a fast mover and a leader that is the closest to the center of the target

The GigaOm Radar report highlights the strengths of Cisco Umbrella, including flexibility, scalability, security, support, prediction capabilities, and integration. Security experts agree that securing DNS is a pivotal step in reducing risk, and Cisco Umbrella’s exceptional performance in these categories demonstrates what streamlined, scalable DNS-layer security looks like.

Here’s why it stands out:

  • Modern, cloud-based cybersecurity: DNS-layer security provides flexible protection on and off the network, with consistent policies across remote locations.
  • More threats blocked faster: Umbrella uses DNS to stop threats over all ports and protocols, stopping malware earlier and preventing callbacks to attackers if infected machines connect to your network.
  • Improved internet performance: Umbrella has a highly resilient network. Our carrier-neutral data centers worldwide use Anycast routing so requests are transparently sent to the fastest available with automatic failover.
  • Reduced malware and alerts: Umbrella reduces the number of infections and alerts you see from other security products by stopping threats at the earliest point.
  • Unmatched threat intelligence: Umbrella is powered by the threat intelligence at Cisco Talos, using statistical and machine learning models to uncover new attacks staged on the internet. Predictive intelligence anticipates and mitigates potential security risks before they can cause harm.
  • Seamless integrations with existing security systems: Get native integration across all Cisco infrastructure and the entire Cisco Secure platform, plus more than 400 third-party integrations to extend your existing security infrastructure and improve network security.
  • Fast time to value: Umbrella DNS-layer security can be deployed and configured in minutes. This simplified deployment and management process makes it easier for IT teams to maintain a secure infrastructure.

As a trusted partner of over 30,000 customers, Cisco Umbrella provides the quickest, most effective way to improve your security stack. See what some of our customers have to say:

“Cisco Umbrella made life easy and was a time and money-saver. It is easy to integrate with other security solutions.”

— IT Manager, Medium Enterprise Pharmaceuticals Company

“Our team of mostly non-security IT members has quickly embraced it, found it easy to use (far better and more consistent than solutions it replaced), and it has bolstered our security posture, not only reactively, but proactively, as well.”

— Chief Security Officer, Medium Enterprise Hospitality Company

For organizations navigating the complexities of protecting distributed infrastructure and remote workforces, Umbrella offers a solution that is not only simple to deploy and manage but also delivers advanced protection for users no matter where they work.

Check out the full report to see why analysts named Cisco Umbrella a top-tier DNS security provider.

And be sure to join us for an upcoming webinar on July 25th with GigaOm’s COO Howard Holton for more insights from the ‘GigaOm Radar fr DNS Security’ report and the benefits of adopting a DNS-layer security solution.
