But as a result, Internet traffic from these locations isn't seen or protected by the centralized security stack, which can leave users and sensitive data exposed. To embrace the increasing use of DIA, IT teams need a simplified, cloud-delivered service that unifies the power of multiple point secu- rity solutions in a single console. That solution is Cisco Umbrella. Avril, a French agro-industrial group, needed to provide their branch offices with a reliable security solution that could continue to expand as Avril acquired new businesses and divisions. To secure these loca- tions while still providing them with fast DIA, they needed a cloud- delivered security service that could work at the outer edges of the network, providing a front line of protection. Using Cisco Umbrella's integrated network and security architecture, Avril can protect branch users, connected devices, and app usage at tens of thousands of DIA breakouts. Leveraging Umbrella security to extend protection everywhere, Avril has been able to substantially reduce the risk of data exfiltration and malware across all ports and protocols. Simple to deploy and easy to manage from the cloud, Umbrella also allows Avril to keep expanding protection to keep up with new needs and new growth. With Cisco Umbrella, the Avril Group was able to reduce ransomware by 100 percent, secure mobile users working off-network, and reduce security management time over previous solutions. Marc Tournier, Information Security and Compliance Manager (CISO) at Avril, was impressed with the quick time-to-value. "Umbrella secured the whole company network in 10 minutes."
