Check Your Electric Bill: Malicious Cryptomining is Lighting up the Internet
How Can Cisco Umbrella Help?
Umbrella is a cloud security platform that protects users from connecting to malicious sites on the internet. By analyzing and learning from internet activity patterns, Umbrella automatically uncovers current and emerging threats, and proactively blocks malicious requests before they reach your network or endpoints.
MSPs who use Umbrella can detect, block and protect against unwanted cryptomining in their environments by simply enabling the cryptomining security category in their policy settings.
Once the cryptomining security category is selected, you can also view cryptomining activity right from the Umbrella dashboard alongside other common threat categories, such as malware, phishing, and command and control.
The ability to detect and block cryptomining is available as standard for all Umbrella customers. Here is what our customers are saying about Umbrella’s cryptomining feature:
“Cisco Umbrella helps me to report on the amount of cryptomining that I am seeing in our APAC locations.” — Richard Crowley, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), JWT
