Cisco Umbrella DNS Security Advantage package

Stop threats at the earliest possible point

Start a free trial

DNS-layer security used by hundreds of millions globally

Every day, Cisco Umbrella powers a secure, reliable, and fast internet experience to hundreds of millions of global users. By enforcing security at the DNS layer, Umbrella blocks requests to malicious domains before a connection is even made, effectively stopping threats in their tracks.

Top reasons to try Cisco Umbrella

Umbrella DNS security resolves pressing issues

Get the tools to address the most pressing cybersecurity issues instantly with the Umbrella DNS Security Advantage package. These issues include:

Stop threats before they hit your network or endpoints

Most companies leave their DNS resolution up to their ISP. However, as more organizations adopt direct-to-internet connections that bypass VPNs, a DNS blind spot is created. With Umbrella DNS security, DNS requests precede the IP connection, enabling the DNS to log requested domains regardless of the port or protocol. Umbrella can then block requests to malware, ransomware, phishing attempts, and botnets before a connection is even established.

Enhanced protection for a remote workforce

Deploy Umbrella and gain a new layer of protection in mere minutes, reduce bandwidth costs and simplify security management. And with the Cisco Umbrella DNS Security Advantage package, you’ll also get access to our enforcement API. This API enables other security services to push updates from their block list to Umbrella. This means you’ll benefit from extended enforcement everywhere, no matter where users are logging in.

Keep your organization protected

With Cisco Umbrella, organizations benefit through:

Visibility icon

Increased transparency

Don’t leave your DNS resolution to your ISP. This can lead to a huge blind spot as more and more users bypass the VPN and connect directly to the internet. By monitoring DNS requests, Umbrella can easily increase visibility and detect systems that have been compromised.

Threat detection icon

Dynamic threat detection

Leveraging threat intelligence from Cisco Talos, Umbrella proactively identifies and blocks requests to risky domains, IP addresses, URLs, and files. This advanced intelligence allows organizations to better protect critical infrastructure from the newest threats without delay or performance impact.

Improved implementation icon

Quick implementation

Cisco Umbrella is simple to deploy and maintain. Integrations are a breeze through its multiple APIs. And since Umbrella stops threats at the earliest possible point, you will notice a dramatic reduction in the number of infections and alerts you need to remediate.

Umbrella and SD-WAN

Umbrella deploys instantly across your SD-WAN, providing you with unmatched web and DNS-layer protection against threats – no matter if users are logging in from their home offices, a coffee shop, or anywhere in between.

The Cisco Umbrella advantage

Umbrella processes more than 250 billion requests for more than 20,000 businesses every day. Powered by the intelligence of Cisco Talos, the world’s largest non-governmental threat intelligence network, Umbrella delivers unmatched visibility into DNS activity worldwide.

Umbrella offers APIs for network devices, management, and reporting. With the DNS Security Advantage package, you also have access to our enforcement API which enables other security services to push updates from their block list to Umbrella for extended enforcement everywhere.

On-network deployment: Any network device (e.g. router, DHCP server) can be used to connect to Umbrella. Simply redirect your DNS to Umbrella’s IP address. That’s it. You can also leverage your existing Cisco footprint — Cisco AnyConnect, Cisco routers (ISR 1K and 4K series), Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers, and Meraki MR/MX — to provision thousands of network devices and laptops in minutes.

Off-network deployment: We protect Windows, MacOS, iOS, Chrome OS, and Android devices outside the network security perimeter — without sacrificing performance.
