What Cisco Umbrella does

Umbrella started life as OpenDNS, acquired by Cisco in 2015. It uses the DNS layer, the first step of almost every internet connection, to stop users and devices reaching malicious destinations. Higher packages add a full secure web gateway, cloud firewall and cloud access security broker. Read our guide: what is Cisco Umbrella?
