Cyber Security
Cybercrime has evolved."We used to have 2000 staff in two buildings we needed to secure, now we have 2002 locations that we need to secure.”
— CIO at Gartner Event
Applications and data are compromised everywhere. ROCTEL’s Cyber Defence system is an aggregation of tools ensuring that individual endpoints in a company’s network are secure, whether in-office or at home, anywhere in the world. It embraces the SASE — secure access service edge How protected are you?

In a modern business environment, people interface with applications more often than with people, and performance expectations are high.

People are more reliant on applications and digital services to increase productivity and manage their businesses.

The value of digital transformation for both society and industry could reach $100 trillion by 2025.

But system upgrades don't have to be complicated to enact. In fact, you can start a free trial right now to see how simple and streamlined it can be.

Cyber criminals are exploiting undefended gaps in security.

Traditional cyber threat protection strategies are out of step with the expanding perimeter and evolving threat landscape.

Security teams are spending 76% of their time defending the data center—the old perimeter.

Meanwhile, 81% of breaches are via weak or stolen passwords. 86% of malware is via web or email. Attackers are targeting the weakest links: the users and applications—the new perimeter.

It takes an average of 191 days for businesses to detect a security breach.

As cybercriminals become more sophisticated and pervasive, only the diligent will avoid attack, and only the best systems will protect your most valuable business assets. It will take a new model of defence, we call ZERO TRUST.

Only Cisco and our Ecosystem can deliver an agile yet secure infrastructure for today’s digital business…

…with a proven validated design that works together seamlessly, reducing operational overhead while providing agility to provision applications quickly and securely, regardless of data center location—public, private, or both (hybrid).

Cisco Umbrella at a glance.

In the past, desktops, business apps, and critical infrastructure were all located behind the firewall. Today, more and more is happening off-network. More roaming users. More corporate-owned laptops accessing the internet from other networks. More cloud apps, mean that users don’t need to be on the corporate network to get work done. And more branch offices connecting directly to the internet.

Cisco Umbrella uses the Internet's infrastructure to enforce security and block malicious activity before a connection is ever established. By delivering security from the cloud, there is no hardware to install and no software to manually update.  You save time, reduce overhead, and get effective security that boasts 100% uptime since 2006. Security doesn't have to be hard. 

The first line of defence

As a Secure Internet Gateway, Cisco Umbrella provides the first line of defence against threats on the internet wherever users go. Umbrella delivers complete visibility into internet activity across all locations, devices, and users, and blocks threats before they ever reach your network or endpoints. As a cloud-delivered, open platform, Umbrella integrates easily with your existing security stack and delivers live threat intelligence about current and emerging threats.

By analyzing and learning from internet activity patterns, Umbrella automatically uncovers attacker infrastructure staged for attacks, and proactively blocks requests to malicious destinations before a connection is even established — without adding any latency for users.

With Umbrella, you can stop phishing and malware infections earlier, identify already infected devices faster, and prevent data exfiltration.

Enforcement built into the foundation of the internet

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a foundational component of the internet — mapping domain names to IP addresses. When you click a link or type a URL, a DNS request initiates the process of connecting any device to the internet. Umbrella uses DNS as one of the main mechanisms to get traffic to our cloud platform, and then uses it to enforce security, too.

When Umbrella receives a DNS request, it uses intelligence to determine if the request is safe, malicious or risky — meaning the domain contains both malicious and legitimate content. Safe and malicious requests are routed as usual or blocked, respectively. Risky requests are routed to our cloud-based proxy for deeper inspection. The Umbrella proxy uses Cisco Talos web reputation and other third-party feeds to determine if a URL is malicious. Our proxy also inspects files attempted to be downloaded from those risky sites using anti-virus (AV) engines and Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP). And, based on the outcome of this inspection, the connection is allowed or blocked.

Intelligence to stop attacks before they launch

The Umbrella global network, which is the network that our recursive DNS service is built on, resolves billions of internet requests from millions of users around the world every day. We analyze this massive amount of data to detect patterns and uncover attacker infrastructure.

We ingest all of that internet activity data from our global network in real-time into our massive graph database, and then continuously run statistical and machine learning models against it. This information is also constantly analyzed by the Umbrella security researchers and supplemented with intelligence from Cisco Talos. Using this combination of human intelligence and machine learning we identify malicious sites — whether it’s domains, IPs,
or URLs — all across the Internet.

Plays nice with others

Umbrella integrates with your existing security stack including security appliances, intelligence platforms, and cloud access security broker (CASB) controls. Umbrella can push log data about internet activity to your SIEM or log management systems, and using our enforcement API, you can programmatically send malicious domains to Umbrella for blocking. This allows you to amplify existing investments, and easily extend protection everywhere.

Enterprise-wide deployment in minutes

Umbrella is the fastest and easiest way to protect all of your users in minutes. Because it is delivered from the cloud, there is no hardware to install or software to manually update. You can provision all on-network devices — including BYOD and IoT — in minutes and use your existing Cisco footprint — AnyConnect, Integrated Services Router (ISR) 1K and 4K Series, and Wireless LAN Controller 5520 and 8540 — to quickly provision thousands of network egresses and roaming laptops. Additionally, with the Cisco Security Connector app, you can use the Umbrella extension to protect supervised iOS 11 devices
