Onboard: Getting started resources

  • Umbrella integrates multiple security solutions into a single cloud-delivered service.
  • Check out our step-by-step user guide for Cisco Umbrella Secure Internet Gateway.
  • Access on-demand education, advanced deployment courses, and product feature walk-throughs, in our Umbrella learning center.

Implement: Deployments, policies, basic reporting

  1. Choose how you want to be protected by Umbrella: you can deploy different security functions, depending on the level of protection, visibility and control you want over your security environment: DNS-layer security, secure web gateway, or cloud-delivered firewall.
  2. Next, manage network identities; install the AnyConnect module; configure SAML or AD integrations to see identity activity down to the user or group.
  3. Customize your DNS policies, web policies, or firewall policies.
  4. Get started with reports: use reports to gain critical insight and to optimize your security in our on-demand course.
  5. Install root certificate to present block pages and to enable advanced features.

Leverage DNS-layer security

  • For the quickest, most effective way to protect, block malicious and unwanted domains, IP addresses, and cloud applications before a connection is ever established, implement DNS-layer security.
  • Add a network identity, point your DNS, and add internal domains; view basic deployment course.
  • For more visibility into identity activity, take our advanced deployment course to utilize Active Directory integrations, and deploy virtual appliances.
  • Protect both roaming and mobile users on and off network, by installing our roaming module.
  • Customize DNS policies to determine whether traffic is inspected, blocked, or allowed.

Leverage secure web gateway (SWG)

  • For greater visibility into all web traffic, increased content control, advanced malware protection, sandboxing, and decryption, enable Umbrella’s secure web gateway (full web proxy).
  • Learn how to deploy SWG in our cloud proxy course. Forward outbound traffic to Umbrella via Cisco’s AnyConnect module, PAC files, proxy chaining, or IPsec tunnels.
  • Utilize SAML integrations and AD integrations to see more granular user or group activity using policies.
  • Enforce consistent security and acceptable use policies to see exactly where your users are going full URL-inspection and block or allow access to specific destinations.
  • SWG deployment web policies course: learn how to create web policies, how they contrast with DNS policies, and how to order policies.

Leverage cloud-delivered firewall

  • To secure users across all branch offices without backhauling traffic to a datacenter for inspection, put cloud-delivered firewall into action.
  • Embrace direct internet access (DIA) by routing outbound traffic to the Umbrella cloud via a single IPsec tunnel. You can also route traffic using our SD-WAN integration.
  • For better visibility and control into non-web/non-DNS traffic across all ports and protocols and to easily block non-web applications customize firewall policies.
  • Access our on-demand video on IPsec tunnel deployment for a step-by-step walkthrough.

Adopt: activate advanced features

Activate SWG advanced features

  • Enable file inspection for web policies using Cisco’s Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) to scan all uploaded and download files for malware and other threats.
  • Apply Tenant Controls to manage user access to SaaS apps, like Microsoft Office 365, Google G Suite, and Slack.
  • Analyze suspicious files (not blocked through file inspection or Cisco AMP) using Threatgrid sandbox environment.
  • Block file downloads by file type.

Maximize your dashboard: API configuration, log management, advanced reporting

Log management, APIs, and admin

  • Define the activities you want Umbrella to log – all requests, only security events, or no requests
  • Upload, store, retain activity logs from Umbrella to a customer or Cisco-managed Amazon S3 bucket
  • Integrate existing tools with APIs for enforcement, visibility, management and deployment.
  • Authenticate your dashboard admins using two-step verification, single sign-on or SSO.

Advanced reporting, threat intelligence, and more

  • Get advanced reporting with App Discovery, Top Identities and Top Destinations.
  • Schedule reports you want to see regularly, sent straight to your inbox.
  • Access your Investigate console to expose current and developing threats in real-time with interactive threat intelligence
  • Maximize your Umbrella deployment with helpful use tips for new features like, web and firewall policies in this on-demand video.
