DNS Layer Security
DNS Layer Security is a crucial component of network security. It protects your network by filtering and blocking malicious domain requests, preventing cyber threats from entering your network, by resolving your DNS requests and using global visibility of known good or known bad, before they can allow a malicious site or code to run inside your network.
With Cisco Umbrella, you can ensure that your network is protected at the most basic layer, providing the first layer of security, as the DNS layer.
