Cisco Umbrella WLAN (OpenDNS)
The Cisco Umbrella WLAN (OpenDNS) provides a cloud-delivered network security service at the Domain Name System (DNS) level, with automatic detection of both known and emergent threats.
This feature allows you to block sites that host malware, bot networks, and phishing before they actually become malicious.
Cisco Umbrella WLAN provides:
-
Policy configuration per user group at a single point.
-
Policy configuration per network, group, user, device, or IP address.
The following is policy priority order:
-
Local policy
-
AP group
-
WLAN
-
-
Visual security activity dashboard in real time with aggregated reports.
-
Schedule and send reports through email.
-
Support up to 60 content categories, with a provision to add custom allowed list and blocked list entries.
This feature does not work in the following scenarios:
-
If an application or host use an IP address directly, instead of using DNS to query domain names.
-
If a client is connected to a web proxy and does not send a DNS query to resolve the server address.
