Cisco Umbrella uses protective DNS to provide a cloud driven Secure Internet Gateway that protects a computer from Internet based threats, wherever it is used. Cisco Umbrella uses the internet’s DNS infrastructure to block malicious destinations before a connection is ever established.
Umbrella’s global network processes billions of requests per day. Using big data analytics and machine learning to analyse and learn from internet patterns, Umbrella automates protection by identifying and blocking malicious domains, IPs, and URLs before they are even used in attacks. |

The proof is in the numbers
200 billion daily internet requests
100 million daily users 20,000+ business clients 30+ datacentres worldwide 3 million+ new domain names discovered daily 7 million+ malicious destinations enforced concurrently at the DNS-layer Research from AV-TEST named Cisco Umbrella the industry leader in security efficacy |

How Umbrella works

|
DNS & IP Layer Enforcement
Umbrella uses DNS to stop threats over all ports and protocols — even direct-to-IP connections. Stop malware before it reaches your endpoints or network. Intelligent Proxy Instead of proxying all web traffic, Umbrella routes requests to risky domains for deeper URL and file inspection. Effectively protecting without delay or performance impact. Command & Control Callback Blocking Even if a computer gets infected, Umbrella will still prevent connections to the attacker’s command and control servers. This effectively stops data exfiltration and execution of ransomware encryption. |
