‘Umbrella’, a device used to protect you from the rain, simple to operate, take it anywhere and comes in many colours and customisations – yet ultimately is the single most simple and widely deployable form of protection from bad weather.

You do not have to change what you are doing – just pick up your ‘umbrella’ and carry on what you have to do. You do not have to dedicate time to get yourself prepared – just pick it up, and, you know it will work and integrates seamlessly into your day! You also know that it will be there when you need it most!

So why should delivering secure business connectivity be any different? Should we ask a company to change what they have to do to be successful in their business just to be safe on the internet? Should we expect that loss of data – customer or IPR be part of doing business? Is it acceptable that ransomware becomes an occupational hazard? Should security be so complex to deploy that it is burdensome to their business and leaves them at a disadvantage? No – it must just work!

Mitigate business risk with IT security solutions – Cisco Umbrella

Cisco Umbrella very much fits the classic ‘Umbrella’ model. Whether it is a wired internet connection or mobile, on-net or off-net, Cisco Umbrella provides up to date security that just works. The business owner has nothing to configure, just keep focusing on what they do best – running their business. What is ‘hidden’ from the end user is unrivalled threat intelligence based on Cisco worldwide visibility and massive investment in bringing best in class up to date threat intelligence to each offer. Within minutes of a new threat being identified, Umbrella is updated and now protecting each user. So, whether the end user is being redirected to a site to download malware or has clicked on an email link that will lead them to a ransomware site – protection is in place.

Just like the classic ‘Umbrella’, it is there when you need it most.

Stay ahead of attacks

So next time you see dark clouds, reach for your ‘umbrella’ – consider Cisco Umbrella to provide cost-effective security for your business and make sure you protect yourself from malware, botnets and phishing.

By learning from internet activity patterns, Umbrella automatically uncovers current and emerging threats. And because it is built into the foundation of the Internet and delivered from the cloud, Umbrella is simple to deploy while delivering powerful, effective protection.
