Cisco OpenDNS Umbrella - ADVANCED THREAT PROTECTION

The easiest and fastest way to protect users 100% of the time

Umbrella Roaming protects employees when they are off the VPN by blocking malicious domain requests and IP responses as DNS queries are resolved. By enforcing security at the DNS-layer, connections are never established and files are never downloaded. Malware will not infect laptops and command & control (C2) callbacks or phishing will not exfiltrate data over any port. Plus, you gain real-time visibility of infected laptops with C2 activity.​

Simple for both security & system admin teams

​1. Enable Roaming in Minutes
‧ Simply enable the Roaming Security module available in Cisco AnyConnect v4.3 for Windows or Mac OS X.OR
‧ Deploy a stand-alone Umbrella Roaming Client for Windows or Mac OS X alongside any other remote access VPN client.

2.    Global Security by Default
‧ As soon as Roaming Security is enabled, mobile workers are protected against malicious destinations.
‧ If a threat is requested via a web browser, end-users receive a customizable block page. 
‧ To immediately access a blocked site, just allow the domain.

3.    Instant Visibility into Threats
‧ View your daily, weekly, or monthly security events occurring off-network either in your inbox or our dashboard.
‧ Check if threats are trending up or down as well as the domains and laptops with the most security events.
‧ Respond to an incident by drilling into the full activity per domain or laptop.

4.    Detailed Logs for Incident Response
‧ View and optionally filter the last 30 days of detailed, real-time Internet activity by time, domain, category, laptop, or IP location.
‧ “Top N” summary reports are retained for up to 2 years and can be scheduled to your and others’ inboxes.
