Camuto Group saw an immediate and measurable impact on security. "When I go to the Umbrella dashboard in the morning," Olejniczak says, "I typically see as many as 400 pieces of malware that have been redirected — that's thousands a week." Yet Umbrella's power remains unobtrusive to users. "It actually improved the speed of the Internet slightly," says Olejniczak. "We see maybe a 5 percent to 10 percent improvement, which makes it at least 30 percent better than other products." In a business that depends on creative people having access to cutting-edge fashion sites, the ability to manage white and black lists quickly is critical. "We can choose safe, HR-acceptable categories for content filtering fast," Olejniczak says. When reports expose previ- ously unknown sites that are inappropriate or risky — or when employees request access to legitimate sites that have been blocked — updating the lists is easy. "It's extremely efficient: I can log in, make the changes, and log out in under three minutes." Olejniczak notes that Umbrella's value increases over time. "The longer you use the product," Olejniczak says, "the better off you are. There are only a few products I've used in my career that actually do what they say they'll do and Umbrella is one of them." This data visu- alization (see the figure below) is a high-level overview of how Cisco Umbrella sees a client's domain infrastructure and how a portion of Umbrella's users (more than 65 million) interact with that domain and its related infrastructure.
