Umbrella DNS
Umbrella DNS sends all DNS queries on your network to the Cisco Umbrella DNS platform, which means that all attempts by your devices to resolve web addresses can be checked and monitored by the Umbrella DNS forwarders.

Cisco Umbrella can also block malware call-backs from infected devices on your network. and even leverage Cisco Talos threat intelligence to identify and block malicious IP traffic - both on and off-network.

Cisco Umbrella DNS Security
Cisco Umbrella DNS Security works by passing DNS traffic (used by devices for web browsing and applications) through Cisco servers. You then get full visibility, control and reporting within the Cisco Umbrella dashboard.
This allows you to control access to certain content and to identify access requests to dangerous and malicious destinations using Cisco Umbrella phishing site security and Cisco Umbrella malware site security.
Cisco Umbrella Secure Internet Gateway
Cisco Umbrella Secure Internet Gateway adds the ability to tunnel traffic from devices or entire networks to the Cisco Umbrella service, using VPN.
This allows you to provide a SASE (Secure Access Services Edge) solution for your devices, including cloud-delivered firewall - full proxy - SSL decryption - and CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) functionality.
Cisco Umbrella Integration
Cisco Umbrella Integration initially is extremely straightforward. Simply change the DNS forwarder settings on your router or DNS proxy - and point to Cisco Umbrella. Basic Cisco Umbrella deployment takes five minutes.
For IPv4 the Cisco Umbrella IP addresses are: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
For IPv6 the Cisco Umbrella IP addresses are: 2620:119:35::35 and 2620:119:53::53
However, far more powerful Cisco Umbrella Integration is available with other Cisco networking devices including Meraki Firewall - and various Cisco Access Point WiFi devices as outlined below. We specialise in Meraki Cisco Umbrella integration - ask us for more information.
Cisco Umbrella Roaming functionality allows you to install a Cisco Umbrella connector on to your remote computers to provide protection off-network.
Cisco Umbrella Active Directory integration allows you to apply content filtering policies on a group basis as per your on-premises AD. Cisco Umbrella Active Directory Integration also allows reporting and monitoring per user.
Cisco Umbrella also supports numerous MDM solutions for streamlined deployment to mobile devices, including Cisco Umbrella Intune integration.
What is Cisco Umbrella DNS?
What is Cisco Umbrella DNS configuration is probably the very first Cisco Umbrella deployment question. We have provided Cisco Umbrella address information below for your convenience.
DNS Cisco Umbrella addresses:
For IPv4 the Cisco Umbrella IP addresses are: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
For IPv6 the Cisco Umbrella IP addresses are: 2620:119:35::35 and 2620:119:53::53
Cisco Umbrella Anycast technology always ensures that your DNS requests are handled by the nearest possible Cisco datacentre, making Cisco Umbrella a great performance fit for geographically diverse users and sites. All by using the same Umbrella DNS IP address information above.
Cisco Umbrella Guest WiFi
Cisco Umbrella Guest WiFi integration is available natively for Meraki WiFi using Meraki Access Point devices - or Cisco WiFi using Cisco Access Point devices, such as Cisco Aironet with Cisco Mobility Express.
It may also be possible to integrate Cisco Umbrella Guest WiFi functionality with WiFi solutions from other vendors. Cisco even offer a Cisco Umbrella WLAN licensing option (per access point).
Contact us for more information about Cisco Umbrella Guest WiFi.
Cisco Umbrella Monitoring
Cisco Umbrella Monitoring and reporting functionality is extremely powerful. Cisco Umbrella DNS monitoring gives you the ability to review traffic in detail by network or even down to individual users (with Cisco Umbrella AD integration).
Reports on security activity, domains, categories, and more - can all be produced and even scheduled for executive reporting purposes. This helps to demonstrate the value of Umbrella DNS monitoring within your organisation
Cisco Umbrella App Discovery
Cisco Umbrella App Discovery is very useful functionality because it provides extremely useful Shadow IT functionality within your organisation. You'll finally be able to see what Cloud Apps your users are using,
Cisco Umbrella then allows you to flag apps as approved or non-approved as you see fit. To help you, Cisco Umbrella will categorise these applications and assign a risk level - with potentially risks apps being flagged for your attention.
Cisco Umbrella application control and Cisco Umbrella Shadow IT visibility is therefore another useful added benefit of using Cisco Umbrella.

Even reviewing Cisco Umbrella at a glance - it is clear that Cisco Umbrella architecture is very straightforward compared to some other web proxy solutions and we can help you with deployment.
We are happy to discuss a Cisco Umbrella comparison with other solutions, as we believe that Cisco Umbrella competitors do not offer the same functionality. Contact us for a Cisco Umbrella demo.
Cisco Umbrella Insights
Cisco Umbrella Insights is most popular, because our agreement with Cisco allows us to bill customers monthly rather than the typical annual payment up-front. However, we can supply any Cisco Umbrella package on request.
