Explore Cisco Umbrella and cloud security basics as a beginner-friendly introduction, with no prior networking knowledge required, and learn how to set up Cisco Umbrella properly in common scenarios.
Explore why DNS layer security is a game changer for networks with Cisco Umbrella, a leading cloud security solution. See how Cisco Marella enables rapid, scalable protection in hours.
Before we start to look at what Umbrella can do, it is important to get an understanding of the underlying technology. This lecture gives a high level description of DNS.
Now that you have a basic understanding of how DNS fits in, we'll cover the more detailed way that DNS works.
Cisco Umbrella is a cloud-based recursive DNS service for enterprise security. Configure your network to use Umbrella's two IP addresses; anycast routes queries to the nearest location and applies policies.
Umbrella is in many ways an alternative to other DNS services that don't offer security or filtering functionality. This lecture covers why you would use Cisco Umbrella.
Compare Cisco Umbrella licensing tiers from DNS Security Essentials to secure internet gateway, highlighting DNS layer security, intelligent proxy, cloud firewall, CASB, and Umbrella Investigate threat intelligence.
Explore Cisco Umbrella Essentials licensing, enabling threat investigation, response capabilities, and intelligent proxy, with cloud firewall, CASB, and secure web gateway for branch and cloud app controls.
Explore the Umbrella dashboard and deployment workflow, including networks, roaming computers, policy application, and device integration to protect traffic with dynamic and static IP setups.
Learn to configure policies in Cisco Umbrella with identity-based, top-to-bottom rules, including DNS policies, content categories, intelligent proxy, SSL decryption, and per-identity deployments.
Navigate the reporting dashboard to schedule and customize reports by user and activity type, filter by content and block risky cloud apps, with CSV export and threat insights.
Explore the licensing page to view current packages, durations, and per-seat DNS activity, illustrated by a Seage Essentials demo with over ten years remaining.
Walk through deploying Umbrella on a network, configuring DNS to Umbrella, creating a network and policy, and testing blocking of phishing, malware, and adult domains with customizable block pages.
Deploy the umbrella roaming client via the dashboard using Windows or Mac installers, or AnyConnect, then assign devices to a policy and monitor synchronization and protection.
Log into the umbrella dashboard as administrator, generate and manage API keys for umbrella network devices, then link to Meraki MX and apply umbrella policies via group policies.
Integrate your umbrella account with Meraki and import umbrella policies into the Meraki dashboard. Apply these policies to wireless networks by enabling umbrella protection on your selected networks.
