Security experts agree that securing DNS is a pivotal step in reducing risk, and Cisco Umbrella\u2019s exceptional performance in these categories demonstrates what streamlined, scalable DNS-layer security looks like.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s why it stands out:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Modern, cloud-based cybersecurity: <\/strong>DNS-layer security provides flexible protection on and off the network, with consistent policies across remote locations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More threats blocked faster:<\/strong> Umbrella uses DNS to stop threats over all ports and protocols, stopping malware earlier and preventing callbacks to attackers if infected machines connect to your network.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improved internet performance:<\/strong> Umbrella has a highly resilient network. Our carrier-neutral data centers worldwide use Anycast routing so requests are transparently sent to the fastest available with automatic failover.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduced malware and alerts:<\/strong> Umbrella reduces the number of infections and alerts you see from other security products by stopping threats at the earliest point.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unmatched threat intelligence:<\/strong> Umbrella is powered by the threat intelligence at Cisco Talos, using statistical and machine learning models to uncover new attacks staged on the internet. Predictive intelligence anticipates and mitigates potential security risks before they can cause harm.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seamless integrations with existing security systems: <\/strong>Get native integration across all Cisco infrastructure and the entire Cisco Secure platform, plus more than 400 third-party integrations to extend your existing security infrastructure and improve network security.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fast time to value:<\/strong> Umbrella DNS-layer security can be deployed and configured in minutes. This simplified deployment and management process makes it easier for IT teams to maintain a secure infrastructure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a trusted partner of over 30,000 customers, Cisco Umbrella provides the quickest, most effective way to improve your security stack.
