Centralized Network Security Management
Cisco Umbrella provides a centralized network security solution for retail, hospitality, and healthcare industries, allowing businesses to effectively manage security across all locations and networks. Whether you have five or 5,000 locations, Umbrella makes it easy to provide a fast, safe, and appropriate Wi-Fi internet experience to users accessing your networks. With Umbrella, you can prevent malware, contain botnets, and enforce acceptable use policies across multiple locations, all through a single, centralized dashboard.
Simple, Cloud-Based Deployment
One of the key benefits of Cisco Umbrella is its cloud-based deployment and management. Unlike traditional security solutions that require on-site appliances or software, Umbrella can be quickly and easily deployed across hundreds or thousands of locations in just one day. By simply pointing DNS traffic to Cisco's global network, businesses can seamlessly integrate Umbrella's network security. Moreover, integrations with leading networking providers like Cisco Meraki, Aruba, Cradlepoint, and Aerohive make provisioning Umbrella's services as simple as checking a box.
Protecting Networks from Cyber Threats
Cisco Umbrella helps businesses protect their networks, guests, and employees from cyber attacks. By allowing unmanaged devices to connect to networks, there is always a risk of malware infiltrating the system. However, Umbrella can help contain the damage by preventing malware from flooding networks with traffic or using network reputation to launch attacks against other organizations. With Umbrella, businesses can protect devices against new malware infections and prevent infected devices from causing harm through network attacks.
Controlling Internet Access and Improving Performance
With Umbrella, businesses can provide an appropriate internet experience for employees and guests by blocking inappropriate sites using over 80 content categories. This enables businesses to strike a balance between offering valuable internet access and maintaining a family-friendly, productive environment. Additionally, Umbrella allows businesses to manage access to bandwidth-intensive sites, enhancing network performance by controlling which types or categories of websites end users can access. By identifying and blocking bandwidth-intensive content like P2P and video streaming, businesses can optimize their network performance.
