providing the capability to detect and report on the cloud applications that are in use across your environment. Umbrella App Discovery offers:
- Extended visibility into cloud apps in use and traffic volume
- App details and risk information
- Capability to block/allow specific apps
Interactive threat intelligence
Cisco Umbrella analyzes 250 billion DNS requests daily, taken from Cisco’s global network into a massive graph database. It also continuously runs against statistical and machine learning models. This information is constantly analyzed by Umbrella security researchers and supplemented with intelligence from Cisco Talos to efficiently discover and block an extensive range of threats.
Cisco’s unique view of the Internet enables Umbrella to uncover malicious domains, IPs and URLs before they’re used in attacks, and helps analysts to accelerate investigations.
Umbrella and SD-WAN integration
With the Cisco Umbrella and Cisco SD-WAN integration, you can deploy Umbrella across your network and gain powerful cloud-delivered security to protect against threats on the Internet.
Umbrella offers the flexibility to create security policies based on the level of visibility and protection that you need–all from one dashboard.
Cisco SecureX
All of these capabilities won’t mean much if your team can’t quickly and easily access the information they will need to understand what is happening and to respond in a timely manner. That’s where the power of the Cisco SecureX platform comes in.
The goal of this integrated security portfolio is to deliver a consistent, simplified experience that unifies visibility, enables automation and strengthens your security.
SecureX empowers your security operations center (SOC) teams with a single console for direct remediation, access to threat intelligence, and tools like casebook and incident manager. It overcomes many challenges by making threat investigations faster, simpler, and more effective.
Zero Trust with Cisco Duo
For organizations of all sizes that need to protect sensitive data at scale, Cisco Duo’s trusted access solution is a user-centric Zero Trust security platform. Duo’s multifactor authentication (MFA) lets you verify the identity of all users–before granting access to corporate applications. You can also ensure devices meet security standards, develop and manage access policies, and streamline remote access and single-sign-on (SSO) for enterprise applications.
Cisco Umbrella also feeds huge volumes of global internet activity into a combination of statistical and machine learning models to identify new attacks being staged on the internet. Umbrella has a highly resilient cloud infrastructure that boasts close to 100% uptime since 2006. Using Anycast routing, any of Cisco’s 30-plus data centers across the globe are available using the same single IP address. As a result, your requests are transparently sent to the nearest, fastest data center, and failover is automatic, resulting in superior speed, effective security and excellent user experience.
