But as Umbrella policies evolve, DNS rules, destination lists, SWG settings, firewall policies, and data protection controls can drift from security baselines.
Cisco Umbrella DNS-layer security blocks malicious and unwanted destinations before a connection is established. Reach analyzes DNS policies, destination lists, allow/block rules, and category settings to identify overly permissive access or risky exceptions. This helps prevent users from reaching malware, phishing, and command-and-control infrastructure.

Umbrella Secure Web Gateway provides full proxy inspection, URL filtering, malware protection, sandboxing, decryption, and content control. Reach analyzes SWG policies to identify incomplete inspection coverage, risky URL category allowances, and policy exceptions that bypass web controls. Ensure web traffic is consistently inspected and controlled.

Umbrella’s cloud-delivered firewall controls traffic using IP, port, protocol, application, and IPS rules. Reach analyzes firewall policies to find overly broad outbound access, unnecessary protocol allowances, and weak application controls. This reduces unauthorized communications and helps limit command-and-control or data exfiltration paths.

Cisco Umbrella includes CASB and DLP capabilities to identify cloud app usage and protect sensitive data. Reach analyzes CASB policies, shadow IT visibility, DLP rules, and outbound data controls to surface risky SaaS usage or incomplete data protection coverage. This helps reduce cloud app exposure and prevent sensitive data from leaving the organization.
