Cisco Umbrella is a powerful security solution that is easy to use and simple to manage
Government and public sector agencies around the world are increasingly being targeted by cyber criminals.
Cisco Umbrella enables agencies to dramatically reduce cybersecurity risks to their networks with a single, unified security solution. The Umbrella Secure Internet Gateway (SIG) package offers simplified security management and maximized security efficacy, with features that include a secure web gateway (SWG), cloud-delivered firewall, cloud access security broker (CASB), DNS-layer security, data loss prevention (DLP), remote browser isolation (RBI), advanced threat intelligence, and more — so organizations can stay secure, end-to-end.
Cisco Umbrella significantly reduces the time, money, and resources required for deployment, configuration, and integration.

DNS-layer security prevents cyberattacks
To protect against emerging threats, state and local government agencies need to extend their security protection beyond their network to wherever employees work.
Security at the DNS-layer protects the entire threat landscape, stopping threats over all ports and protocols, detecting malware earlier, and preventing attackers from receiving callbacks if infected machines connect to the network.
Strong security in the face of powerful cyber threats
Protect against threats in the cloud
With industry-leading threat intelligence from Cisco Talos, DNS-layer security enables government agencies to enforce security policies everywhere while providing visibility into potential threats. The combination gives you the insight to understand your risks and protect against targeted attacks.
Prevent threats and focus on priorities
By using Umbrella’s secure web gateway (SWG) public sector organisations can inspect and log web traffic, while IPsec tunnels, proxy auto-config files or chains and cloud-based proxies provide protection against advanced threats and enforce acceptable use policies.
Increase inspection and control
By using the Umbrella cloud-delivered firewall government agencies increase visibility and control over internet traffic originating from client requests. A firewall in the cloud is essential to any cloud-delivered security service, improving security efficacy and ensuring consistent enforcement everywhere.
Secure cloud users and sensitive data
Umbrella’s cloud access security broker (CASB) functionality provides government agencies with the tools to improve risk management and enforce compliance, prevent malware spread and detonation, and avoid data loss in cloud applications.
Building security resilience for government and public sector
As government and public sector agencies grow more decentralized and cloud-focused, hybrid environments are no longer outliers. More and more electronic transactions and interactions take place over networks, apps, and platforms outside the agency control.
But these agencies must scale responsibly based on security need. The way to accomplish this is through trusted, guiding principles for building and sustaining security resilience.
Security resilience is more than avoiding phishing, ransomware, and other attacks. It is about learning from mistakes, embracing actionable intelligence, and prioritizing what’s important to increase your ability to withstand unforeseen shocks and emerge stronger than before.
Cisco Umbrella is a key component of Cisco Secure’s portfolio of proven products that provide security resilience for the unpredictable. Organizations worldwide trust Cisco Secure to protect 840,000 networks, 67 million mailboxes, and 87 million endpoints.
