Cisco Umbrella Secure Internet Gateway Advantage - License - 1 License

Experience a modern, cloud-delivered security solution designed to protect every user, device, and location from evolving internet threats. Cisco Umbrella Secure Internet Gateway (SIG) Advantage combines DNS-layer security, IP-layer enforcement, and secure web gateway capabilities in a single, scalable license. This 1-license package is engineered for enterprises seeking broad visibility, precise control, and proactive threat intelligence with minimal on-site infrastructure. By leveraging Cisco’s Threat Intelligence from Talos and a globally distributed network, Umbrella SIG Advantage helps you reduce risk, accelerate threat detection, and simplify policy management across branch offices, remote workers, and hybrid cloud environments.

• Unified cloud-delivered security: At the core, Umbrella SIG Advantage delivers DNS-layer protection, secure web gateway, and optional threat protection in one cloud service. This means you get comprehensive defense without deploying the traditional on-premises appliances. The solution automatically blocks requests to known malicious domains, prevents risky destinations, and utilizes real-time threat intelligence to stay ahead of evolving attack tactics. With this unified approach, IT teams gain consistent security posture across all network egress points and devices, whether users are in the office, on the move, or working remotely.
• Advanced threat protection and visibility: The Advantage tier leverages Cisco Talos threat intelligence to provide high-fidelity protection against malware, botnet activity, ransomware, and command-and-control communications. You’ll receive granular visibility into user activity, application usage, and traffic patterns, enabling rapid detection, investigation, and response. Real-time dashboards, detailed reports, and proactive alerts empower security teams to identify risky behavior, narrow down attack surfaces, and fine-tune defenses with confidence.
• Granular policy control for users and devices: Create and apply policies by user, group, location, device type, or network segment. Safe browsing, content filtering, and data protection controls can be tailored to meet compliance and risk requirements. Policy templates accelerate deployment for common use cases, while custom rules address specific organizational needs. With policy-driven enforcement, you can reduce shadow IT, block unwanted traffic, and ensure a consistent security posture across the entire organization.
• Cloud-native deployment with scalable licensing: Designed for rapid deployment in today’s decentralized environments, Umbrella SIG Advantage eliminates the complexity of hardware appliances. The 1-license package scales with your organization’s growth, simplifying license management and renewal processes. Because it is cloud-based, updates, threat intelligence, and policy changes propagate instantly, ensuring your protections keep pace with the latest threat landscape without downtime or complicated upgrades.
• Seamless integration with the broader Cisco security stack: Umbrella SIG Advantage is built to complement and extend your existing security investments. It integrates with Cisco SecureX, Cisco Secure Firewall, and other Cisco security products to provide centralized orchestration, correlated threat intelligence, and unified reporting. This interoperability helps security teams streamline workflows, accelerate incident response, and maintain a coherent defense across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments.
