Enterprise security and networking are facing a significant transformation as organization embrace SASE, a Secure Access Service Edge. Wide-scale adoption of cloud applications, an increase in remote workers, and expansion of branch offices has rendered the centralized, on-premises security model impractical.
The convenience, cost savings, and performance benefits of going direct to the internet is driving a new decentralized approach to networking. Yet with change comes risk and a new set of security challenges. Organizations require a broader set of protection that not only improves security, but simplifies management.

The Umbrella DNS Security Essentials package
includes core DNS-layer security capabilities, to block requests to malicious domains before they reach your network or endpoints. You gain off-network protection and mobile support in this base package, as well as access to Umbrella APIs (policy, reporting and enforcement), log exporting, the multi-org console, integration with Cisco Threat Response, and identity- based policies (virtual appliance + Active Directory connector).
