Security Service Edge (SSE)

The full Secure Access solution brings together Secure Internet Access (SIA) with Secure Private Access (SPA) for a complete SSE solution that securely connects users and IoT devices to SaaS apps, private apps, and the internet. It features a unique, zero trust approach combining Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and VPN as a Service (VPNaaS).

DNS-Layer Protection

Block Threats at the First Step of Every Internet Request

DNS is the foundation of every internet connection. By securing the DNS layer, Umbrella stops requests to malicious destinations before any data is exchanged — reducing risk faster and with less overhead than traditional perimeter security.

  • Blocks malicious domains, IPs, and phishing sites at DNS resolution
  • Deploys in minutes by pointing DNS to Umbrella resolvers
  • Protects roaming users without requiring a VPN or agent
  • Covers all devices, all ports, on and off the corporate network
