Stop more cyber threats at the source

Cisco Umbrella’s global cloud architecture delivers unmatched threat intelligence with the power to see and stop more threats faster and more accurately. Our cloud-native global footprint:

  • Processes more than 620 billion Internet requests daily
  • Features a 96% malware detection rate
  • Logs and categorizes 85+ domain content categories in real-time

Malicious queries September 2021

In a typical month, the Umbrella global cloud architecture identifies a staggering number of malicious queries, with malware always topping the threat categories.

September 2021, Top ten threat types

Always evolving: watching the threat landscape shift and change

The global threat landscape is constantly evolving and shifting. Cisco Umbrella’s global cloud architecture is always on, tracking more than 50 million phishing attempts and blocking more than 7 million malicious domains on average daily.

Often times, it’s the relationships between different types of active threats and the associated Internet activity to malicious domains that deliver deeper insights into patterns of cyber criminal behavior.

We graphed several months of threat data to illustrate how threat types change from month to month. Click below to see how the threats changed.

Key trends in cyber threats

Cisco Umbrella’s global cloud architecture helps you learn what threats are hot and how they are causing havoc. Here you can see query traffic from two typical months of threats that our researchers were actively tracking.

Threats of interest - August, September 2021

A proactive approach to cybersecurity threat defense

Cisco Umbrella is always learning from new internet events to prevent cybersecurity attacks. Unlike static reputation, our security analytics are always adapting due to live activity. Cisco Umbrella currently protects more than 7 million malicious domains and IPs while at the same time delivering fast internet access — and identifies 60 thousand new malicious destinations daily. And unlike reactive sandboxes, we do not need to collect a sample of an attack.

To achieve this feat, we have:

  • A team of world-class engineers, mathematicians, and security researchers who take an innovative and proactive approach to security research
  • Use of advanced data mining techniques, machine learning and behavioral models
  • Security domain expertise to identify threats and protect our customers

Proactive approach to cybersecurity

Cisco Umbrella: The most effective cyber threat protection in the industry

For the second year in a row, AV-TEST named Cisco Umbrella the undisputed leader in threat detection for remote and roaming users. Lots of network security providers claim they are the best, but the test results clearly show Cisco Umbrella ranks at the top – crushing the competition.

See for yourself how Cisco Umbrella, a key component of Cisco’s SASE architecture, stacks up against Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks, Netskope, and more.
