Explanation
Cisco Umbrella's core cloud-delivered security feature is blocking malware, command-and-control callbacks, and phishing across any port or protocol using DNS-layer enforcement.
Common mistakes.
- A. DDoS attack mitigation is not a feature of Cisco Umbrella; DDoS protection is provided by dedicated scrubbing services separate from Umbrella's DNS security function.
- C. Sandboxing of suspicious files is a feature of Cisco Threat Grid or AMP for Endpoints, not a primary feature of Umbrella's cloud-delivered security architecture.
- D. Handling 130B+ daily DNS requests with high uptime describes Umbrella's infrastructure scale, not its primary security feature or protection capability.
Concept tested. Cisco Umbrella DNS-layer security and threat blocking
