Cisco Umbrella
Cisco Umbrella is a cloud security platform that provides the first line of defense against threats on the internet. It acts as a gateway between the internet and your systems and data to block malware, botnets and phishing over any port, protocol or app.
Using an Umbrella account, the integration will transparently intercept DNS queries and redirect them to Umbrella. This device will appear in the Umbrella dashboard as a network device for applying policy and viewing reports.
