Why Cisco Secure

Cisco Secure is Cisco’s comprehensive security product portfolio. Cisco Secure products offer unmatched efficacy in data protection, providing security that’s not only agile and adaptable, but also incredibly easy to use.

Secure your resilience

Cisco Secure enables companies to achieve security resilience and protect their business amidst unpredictable threats or change. With Cisco, companies can help ensure the integrity of their financial and data assets, spring back from operational disruptions, better withstand shocks to supply chains and secure a distributed workforce. Cisco Secure’s emphasis on resilience helps businesses close security gaps, see more, anticipate what’s next and take the right action, strengthening companies’ institution-wide investments in other types of resilience.

Cisco Secure focuses on five dimensions of security resilience:

Cisco Umbrella is the SASE foundation of Cisco Secure

Cisco Umbrella provides flexible security protection on and off network, and consistent policies in any location, for better performance everywhere.

With a robust lineup of adaptable zero trust, XDR, and SASE tools, Cisco Secure makes organizational security both integrated and accessible for organizations of any size, industry, client base, and infrastructure. Cisco Umbrella plays a vital role by going beyond on-premises network security. With multiple security functions delivered from a single cloud security service, Cisco Umbrella extends protection to your users everywhere — in minutes.

Umbrella entered the Cisco Secure portfolio after Cisco Systems’ OpenDNS acquisition in 2015. In 2019, we expanded Umbrella’s capabilities beyond the DNS-layer to include more protection. We’ve since introduced products like our secure web gateway, firewall, and cloud access security broker (CASB). As a cloud-delivered suite of services, Umbrella serves as the foundation of modern networking and security architecture — secure access service edge (SASE). This edge-to-edge security model protects users anywhere and everywhere they work, on any device.

Backed by Talos Intelligence, Umbrella both reliably blocks malicious threats and uses interactive threat intelligence to enable faster incident investigation and response. Since it can be deployed quickly and managed effortlessly from a single dashboard, tens of thousands of organizations already use Umbrella for perimeter-less, stress-free cloud security.
