A GIS acts as a secure gateway to the Internet and provides the first line of visibility and defense regardless of the users' location or what they want to connect to.
As a cloud-managed security platform that protects employees both connected to and disconnected from the corporate network, Cisco Umbrella stops known and unknown threats by blocking all ports and protocols for comprehensive protection. The solution blocks access to malicious domains, URLs, IPs, and files before a connection is established or a file is downloaded. Because most threats target endpoints, covering all ports and protocols is essential to providing secure browsing and protecting 100% of traffic.
Furthermore, Cisco Umbrella avoids typical operational complexity issues. By managing everything from the cloud, there's no need to install hardware or manually update software. Organizations can provide protection for all devices in minutes and leverage existing Cisco investments—including the AnyConnect client, the Integrated Services Router 4K range, and wireless LAN controllers—to route internet traffic to Umbrella whether connected to the corporate network or not. Cisco Umbrella provides:
• Visibility and protection anywhere: The visibility needed to protect internet access across all network devices, all offices, and all mobile users. By combining Umbrella with Cisco Cloudlock's Cloud Access Security Broker technology, Cisco now enables organizations to identify which SaaS applications are being used and enforce policies to block dangerous or inappropriate applications.
• Intelligence to stop attacks before they launch: Umbrella analyzes over 100 billion internet requests daily and correlates this live data with over 11 billion historical events. This is analyzed to identify patterns, detect anomalies, and create models to automatically discover the infrastructure attackers are manipulating for their next threat.
• Superior protection against malicious targets and files: Umbrella leverages powerful Cisco Security tools to provide the most comprehensive view for identifying and stopping threats early. This includes:
or Machine learning models to discover known and emerging threats, blocking connections to malicious destinations at the IP and DNS layers.
Cisco Talos threat intelligence to block malicious URLs at the HTTP/S layer.
or Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) to detect malicious files and block them in the Cloud.
• An open platform for easy integration: Umbrella can integrate with existing systems, including security appliances, smart platforms, or custom local feeds and tools, allowing organizations to extend protection for devices and locations beyond the perimeter.
• SaaS application knowledge and control: Umbrella, in combination with Cloudlock, helps organizations discover and control sensitive data in SaaS applications both inside and outside the corporate network.
• Fast and reliable connectivity for a great user experience: Umbrella uses Anycast routing technology (requests are sent to the first available server with automated failover to maintain 100 percent availability) so that users do not experience slow connections when using the solution.
EXTREME PROTECTION OF THE POST-QUANTUM (BIT-BASED) WORLD USING THE UNIVERSE OF QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES (QUBIT-BASED)
This article contrasts the world of current processing based on bit-electrical/post-quantum signals (e.g., using lattice-based algorithms, Goppa codes, isogenic curves, super-chaos, traditional algorithms, etc.) with the universe of processing based on...
