Comprehensive Security Solutions
Cisco Umbrella and Duo combine to offer a robust layered security solution that provides rapid protection for users. By securing internet traffic and establishing trust, these two programs work in tandem to prevent various cyber threats. The seamless integration of Cisco Umbrella and Duo ensures that users are shielded from attacks such as phishing, malware, and ransomware right from the start. This layered protection approach is akin to putting on a seatbelt before driving, ensuring that users are safeguarded before even encountering potential threats.
Efficient Threat Prevention
Adopting a layered security strategy is pivotal in preventing attacks at the earliest possible point. With Duo's multi-factor authentication (MFA) and Umbrella's cloud-delivered security, organizations can establish a strong defense mechanism against cyber threats. Powered by Cisco Talos, the world's largest non-governmental threat intelligence organization, Umbrella offers real-time visibility into DNS-based web requests. By analyzing an immense volume of internet requests daily, Umbrella identifies and blocks threats that may be missed by other security solutions. Simultaneously, Duo provides real-time insights into risky authentication attempts, ensuring enhanced protection against phishing attempts and enforced risk-based policy measures.
Simplifying Security Measures
The ease of use is paramount when it comes to security solutions. As highlighted by Adrian Foo, IT Manager at Hynds Group, the simplicity of programs like Umbrella and Duo significantly improve the security posture of organizations. Complex applications and platforms are often underutilized due to their difficulty, hence the importance of intuitive and user-friendly security tools. Umbrella and Duo not only offer advanced security features but also ensure that these functionalities are easily accessible and manageable by users with varying technical expertise.
Enhanced Cyber Insurance Coverage
In an era where cyber threats are rampant, obtaining cyber liability insurance coverage is increasingly crucial for organizations. Duo MFA plays a pivotal role in satisfying the basic requirements for cyber insurance by securing access and validating user identities. Additionally, Umbrella’s DNS-layer security serves as an essential component for cyber hygiene, protecting users' web traffic irrespective of their location. By utilizing Duo and Umbrella in tandem, organizations can bolster their security protocols and meet the stringent criteria set by cyber insurance providers.
Preparing for the Security Service Edge (SSE) Era
As security risks escalate, organizations need to embrace technologies like Security Service Edge (SSE) to fortify their security postures while simplifying operations. SSE combines various cloud-based security services to provide secure access to web, cloud services, and private applications. By leveraging the capabilities of Duo and Umbrella, organizations can lay a solid foundation for their SSE journey, equipping both IT teams and end-users with the necessary tools to navigate the evolving threat landscape effectively.
