Cloud DNS-layer security, now part of Cisco Secure Access
Updated
Cisco Umbrella is cloud-delivered DNS-layer security for organizations that want to block threats before connections are made, and it has evolved into Cisco Secure Access, a security service edge (SSE) suite. The Umbrella name remains in use for its DNS security packages.
Traffic from users and devices is directed through Cisco's cloud, where DNS requests and web traffic are checked against threat intelligence and policy before reaching the internet or private apps. Administrators manage policy in one console.
Cisco Umbrella is used by IT and security teams that need roaming-user protection and web security without on-premises appliances. The vendor describes Secure Access for Government as FedRAMP-certified.
Cisco does not publish prices on the product page; packages include DNS Security Essentials and Advantage and SIG Essentials and Advantage, quoted through Cisco sales or partners. A free trial can be requested.
The vendor lists IT security integrations, hardware integrations, a Meraki integration and Cisco Security for Chromebook, without further detail on its page.
Zscaler is a pure-play SSE platform with a large global proxy network. Netskope focuses on CASB and data protection within its SSE offering. DNSFilter is a lighter DNS-layer filtering service for smaller organizations.
