Cisco Umbrella's got you covered

We deployed it company wide as a measure of WFH, as the trusted DNS source for where ever you are working from. We found that the upstream provider of some people were suspicious and made errors, this allows people to work a bit more freely.

The trusted upstream of where ever a user is outside the office is standardized and we can trust it.

It fits well into the security stack and I recommend it as a great layer of protection for outside the office user.

zero trust

no network is safe, by providing protection where possible to reduce the threat landscape

gives us way more flexibility for our staff, to be in office or remote

wanted to protect the endpoints espeically the roaming users where they are lazy and tend not to connect to the vpn but take the easy route of a free wifi as security is never forefront

deployed on all mobile workstations so there is no excuse no to be protected

secure dns, when on unsecure network wired or wireless the protection of the endpoint is key as people are too easy to just connect to what ever is there.

support the use of the tools and emphize the need to be security firest

no, we used umbrella before cisco purchased them

didn't know this was available, and would most likely not have bought it

we acquired a company and wanted to move their umbrella portal to ours so that there would be one less sign in, they did it all within 1 day of scheduling the date when we wanted it done

it's one of our cornerstones as without security we are open to malicious actions of bad actors

was the best for the value and we were using them before cisco purchased them when it was open dns. so now we know we are on the right track

when they bought open dns we knew we were on the right track for like minded thinking

both easier to break in and detect and avoid, it works both sides of the coin

yes, there is a bit more head room for utilization but worth it
