Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Umbrella

We are using Cisco Umbrella to integrate with SD-WAN Edge devices to provide cloud based security. This helps us to layoff the security analysis and logs storage responsibilities from the SD-WAN Edge routers. One use-case of Cisco Umbrella usage is to integrate using manual IPSEC Tunnels and the other use-case is to implement auto IPSEC tunnels using APIs. The third use-case of using Cisco Umbrella is for a DNS Security where the internet bound traffic is routed towards Cisco Umbrella first for the security assessments. Once the device is integrated using any of these use-cases, we can implement the policies from the Umbrella portal for carrying out the desired level of security hardening.

In my opinion, Cisco Umbrella is a pretty cool cloud based security service that can help enterprises to meet their cyber readiness and security compliance.
  • DNS Security
  • Auto SIG Tunnels
  • Web Filtering
  • Operation Logs
  • Use of new APIs for auto SIG Tunnels is not working
  • The Cisco Umbrella logs on vManage are not displaying the detailed information
  • Security compliance
  • Use of less expansive routers even with low disk space
  • Webex App
  • ThousandEyes
  • Cisco Catalyst Switches
  • Cisco Umbrella
Auto SIG Tunnels is a feature that helps in provisioning tunnels automatically using Cisco Umbrella APIs and so this is one win for choosing Cisco Umbrella over others. With Cisco SD-WAN viptela, the Cisco Umbrella stacks up well because its the same vendor so less complexities and interoperability issues.

Cisco Umbrella is best suited for implementing security at regional gateways that can be used for breaking out the traffic to internet. This saves cost by only implementing this solution on fewer regional based sites, than each individual site. This also helps in handing over the security responsibilities for an internet bound traffic to a well reputed cloud based security service such as Cisco Umbrella.
