Security resilience is all about minimising risk and thriving amidst uncertainty. The Cisco Security Outcome Report 2nd edition demonstrated that cybersecurity success was associated with five key security team behaviours, two of which are 'Be proactive about technology updates' and 'Utilise well-integrated technologies'. Moreover, as more organisations adopt hybrid working and continue to incorporate SaaS solutions to enhance teamwork and communication, there's a growing need for simplified, streamlined, and scalable security that safeguards users whether they're on or off the network.

Flexible, cloud-delivered security, such as Cisco Umbrella, is the simplest method to effectively protect users wherever they work and connect to applications and data. It amalgamates various security functions into a single solution, allowing the extension of data protection to devices, remote users, and distributed locations everywhere. However, whilst there are security solutions that are quick to deploy and straightforward to manage, the transition to contemporary security isn't instantaneous.

Cisco recently engaged Forrester Consulting to undertake an independent cost-benefit analysis of Cisco Umbrella to guide security leaders in optimising their security budget and recognising the financial and operational advantages of investing in cloud-based security. In the Total Economic Impact™ of Cisco Umbrella Secure Internet Gateway (SIG) and Security Service Edge (SSE), Forrester Consulting outlined the cost savings, business advantages, and risk mitigation provided by Umbrella SIG/SSE. These findings are grounded in a composite organisation made up of individuals with experience in using Cisco Umbrella SIG/SSE.

Beyond offering enhanced threat protection and a better user experience, the Forrester research indicated that Umbrella delivered:

  • Enhanced security efficacy and fewer security incidents, leading to reduced remediation efforts
  • Time savings in policy creation and enforcement
  • Reduced costs associated with breaches
  • Lowered operational expenses
  • Avoided expenditures of legacy services
  • Quicker integrations with current environments
  • A 231% ROI within three years
