Open DNS Smarter Cloud Proxy: Umbrella


There are many types threats like malware, viruses, and phishing. But sometimes these types of threats reside on server that has both bad and good domains. One way to avoid these types of threats is to block these connection is by routing all of these connection through a proxy server that will filter these threats. However, with attacks using different protocols and strategies it fools the proxy and is able escape.

Open DNS has a solution, Umbrella, for this problem with the first security based intelligent Proxy. The Umbrella uses a security graph to locate the connection that have threats like the one mentioned above and block them right away. If Umbrella does have a doubt about any connection it will flag it and have it go through some more rigorous checks and Umbrella is able to do all this without sacrificing performance.

  3. Good one! Umbrella provides security to all devices no matter where they are located. Their mobile app sets a VPN profile to enforce security at the DNS layer over all Wi-Fi or carrier connections avoiding phishing.
