Quick Answer: How Can Organizations Use DNS to Improve Their Security Posture?
DNS presents security and risk management leaders with some excellent opportunities to anticipate, prevent, detect and respond to prevailing threats. Organizations should implement DNS security to protect users, devices and other critical infrastructure.
“Threats and exploits can’t get through, and Umbrella gives us confidence because we know that our users are protected when they’re surfing the internet on or off the network.”

Protecting your enterprise network in every way: Top 5 use cases for Cisco Umbrella
The workplace has evolved, introducing a new and complex set of IT security, compliance, data protection, and regulations challenges. To keep your team and organization protected, you need a way to simplify your stack, while evolving it to meet today’s needs and your unique challenges. Cisco Umbrella unifies secure web gateway, cloud-delivered firewall, DNS-layer security, and cloud access security broker (CASB) solutions into a single, easily deployed, cloud-based service. In this ebook we discuss how Umbrella provides effective threat protection across a variety of use cases.
This Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) brief looks at some of the key trends and events that will shape network security technologies, suppliers, and customers in 2021.
ESG senior analyst John Grady dives into his predictions for this year, anticipating what 2021 has in store for us based on what occurred in 2020. “…If the last year has taught us anything it is that while we cannot always predict the future, being prepared for the unexpected is critical.”
Investing in a long-term security strategy: The 3 keys to achieving SASE
As organizations work to migrate to the cloud — and work moves away from the data center towards the edges of the network — exposure to threats continues to rise. To protect against these growing risks— while optimizing performance at every connection — networking and security can no longer work in silos. Instead, they must work together in tandem to connect and protect users at the edge, securely and efficiently. This is where SASE enters the picture. Recently introduced by Gartner, SASE — or Secure Access Secure Edge — is a forward-thinking framework in which networking and security functions converge into a single integrated service that works at the cloud edge to deliver protection and performance in one simplified approach.
Hunting threats in harm's way and dissecting it the Holmes way!
The threat landscape continues to expand, paving the way for new cyber attacks. Attackers have nothing to lose and they have thrown a lot of new tricks from their mystery hats. The majority of these threats use pandemic-themed email as their entry point and deploy new tricks to infect endpoint users.
This talk will cover the rise of RATS, the rise of XLS attachment exploits, and new obfuscation techniques to conceal core code and configuration files by malware authors. The talk also touches on the theme of how techniques in exfiltration are changing and how rapidly other threat actors are adopting or improvising on these trends.
The Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) model is a market disruptor.
SASE is changing how organizations manage and secure their networks, users, apps, and devices. Having a foundational understanding of the most vital components of a SASE architecture enables organizations to more successfully converge network and security services in the cloud.
Cisco continues to invest in Cisco Umbrella, the heart of their SASE architecture. It already combines multiple security functions in a unified cloud-native service — delivering the protection you need, anywhere users work, supported by an industry-leading global cloud architecture.

Data loss prevention
Remote browser isolation
Enhanced integrations between Cisco Meraki MX and cloud security
New license flexibility to move from on-prem to the cloud

How to reduce complexity and gain efficiency with SASE
We can help you more readily combine your WAN capabilities with network security services to streamline management, connect and protect users at the edge, and gain more operational efficiency. A coordinated cloud enablement strategy can help improve your network security without compromising performance. Plus, the streamlined approach and consolidated tools will save you time, money, and resources.
Digital business transformation and the shift to a more distributed workforce are driving the need for anywhere, anytime access to resources, wherever they may exist. These changes require networking and security to move to the cloud, where they can be delivered as a single converged service with flexible deployment and consumption models. The secure access service edge (SASE) model consolidates numerous networking and security functions — traditionally delivered in siloed point solutions — into a single integrated offering.
View this webinar to learn how Cisco’s approach to SASE can help you converge, connect, and control multiple networking and security functions in a single cloud service.
How Maryland's leading healthcare provider has adopted a SASE approach to improve security and build patient trust with Cisco Umbrella
As a healthcare provider with complex access needs, Frederick Health needed a secure and efficient solution at the cloud edge that could provide granular controls for users no matter where they connect from. Frederick Health turned to Cisco to provide a secure access service edge (SASE) architecture and deployed DNS-layer security, secure web gateway and firewall functionality from Cisco Umbrella.
