Cisco Launches Umbrella - Cloud-based secure internet gateway
Global
networking giant Cisco on 06-02-2017 launched “Umbrella”, a
Cloud-based secure internet gateway that provides visibility and protection
against threats wherever users work. A secure internet gateway (SIG)
provides safe access to the internet anywhere users go, even when they are off
the VPN and provides the first line of visibility and defense regardless of
where users are located or to what they’re trying to connect.
“Our
secure internet gateway, Cisco Umbrella, can protect today’s enterprise and
beyond as mobility increases and new cloud services are adopted,” said David
Ulevitch, Vice President, General Manager, Security Business Group, Cisco
Systems.
Umbrella
stops current and emergent threats over all ports and protocols for the most
comprehensive coverage. It blocks access to malicious domains, URLs, IPs, and
files before a connection is ever established or a file downloaded. By
combining “Umbrella” with Cisco Cloudlock’s Cloud Access Security Broker
technology, Cisco can now enable organisations to identify which SaaS apps are
being used and enforce policies to block risky or inappropriate apps.
“Umbrella”
can integrate with existing systems, including security appliances,
intelligence platforms or feeds, and custom, in-house tools which enables users
to extend protection for devices and locations beyond the perimeter.
“‘Umbrella’ resolves over 100 billion internet requests every day and
correlates this live data with over 11 billion historical events. This is
analysed to identify patterns, detect anomalies, and create models to
automatically uncover attacker infrastructure being staged for the next
threat,” the company said in a statement.
