Cisco Umbrella


1. Offer Description

Cisco Umbrella is a cloud security platform that unifies multiple security services in a single cloud-delivered platform to secure internet access and control cloud app usage from your network, branch offices, and roaming users. Depending on the package and deployment, Cisco Umbrella integrates secure web gateway, cloud delivered firewall, DNS-layer security, cloud malware protection and cloud access security broker (CASB) functionality for effective protection anywhere users go. Before users connect to any online destination, Cisco Umbrella acts as a secure onramp to the internet and delivers deep inspection and control to support compliance and block threats. Cisco Umbrella is backed by one of the largest threat intelligence teams in the world, Cisco Talos, and it provides interactive access to threat intelligence through Cisco Umbrella Investigate to aid in incident response and threat research. Cisco Umbrella Investigate provides access to certain Cisco threat intelligence about malicious domains, IPs, networks, and file hashes. Using a diverse dataset of billions of daily DNS requests and live views of the connections between different networks on the Internet, Cisco applies statistical models and human intelligence to identify attackers’ infrastructures. Cisco Umbrella Investigate data can be accessed via a web-based console or an API. Please consult the Umbrella Documentation for further information on its technical specifications, configuration requirements, features and functionalities.

Your Cisco Umbrella subscription includes access to Cisco SecureX, Cisco’s integrated security platform that aggregates threat intelligence (through SecureX threat response, also known as Cisco

Threat Response), unifies visibility across various Cisco and third party security products, enables automated workflows, and more. For more information on SecureX, please see the SecureX Offer Description at

2. Supplemental Terms and Conditions

2.1. Restrictions

If You are an authorized Cisco service provider whose contract with Cisco authorizes You to utilize Cisco cloud services on behalf of end customers, You may use the Cloud Service only for the benefit of such end customers.

2.2. Disclaimers

CISCO DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE CLOUD SERVICES WILL GUARANTEE ABSOLUTE SECURITY DUE TO THE CONTINUAL DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TECHNIQUES FOR INTRUDING UPON AND ATTACKING FILES, NETWORKS AND ENDPOINTS. CISCO DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE CLOUD SERVICES WILL PROTECT ALL YOUR FILES, NETWORK, OR ENDPOINTS FROM ALL MALWARE, VIRUSES OR THIRD PARTY MALICIOUS ATTACKS.

INTEGRATIONS MADE ACCESSIBLE TO YOU THAT ARE NOT A GENERALLY AVAILABLE PRODUCT INCLUDED ON YOUR ORDER ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS.

2.3. Cisco Umbrella Cloud Delivered Firewall – Stand-Alone Version for Layers 3 and 4 ("CDFW L3/4")

In connection with Your use of CDFW L3/4 (to the extent applicable), You will not (and will not allow any third party to): (i) use the Cloud Service to run automated queries to external websites; (ii) use the Cloud Service to access websites or blocked services in violation of applicable law and/or regulation; or (iii) use the Cloud Service for the purpose of intentionally masking Your identity in connection with the commission of unlawful activities or to otherwise avoid legal process. Additionally, by using CDFW L3/4, you acknowledge that in the event that Cisco receives a third party request for information, demand letter, or other similar inquiry with regards to alleged unlawful activity on Your network, Cisco may disclose Your name to such third party as necessary to comply with legal process or meet national security requirements; protect the rights, property, or safety of Cisco, its business partners, You, or others; or as otherwise required by applicable law.

CDFW L3/4 Bandwidth: CDFW L3/4 is licensed by mega bits per second ("Mbps") and the total amount of Mbps that You are licensed to use is Your "Subscribed Bandwidth." Cisco will continuously measure Your usage of CDFW L3/4 throughout a given month by analyzing the previous thirty (30) day period for peaks in Mbps on Your network. If at any time, Cisco determines that Your 95th Percentile Bandwidth (defined below) has exceeded Your Subscribed Bandwidth, Cisco reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at any point during the thirty (30) day monitoring period, to throttle Your bandwidth or require You to increase Your Subscribed Bandwidth at Your cost.

Your 95th Percentile Bandwidth is calculated by observing Your Mbps peaks over the course of thirty (30) days, with the first thirty (30) day period beginning upon activation of the Cloud Service, and discarding the top 5% of the Mbps peaks observed in that time frame. The next highest Mbps peak value after discarding the top 5% Mbps peaks is Your “95th Percentile Bandwidth.” For example, if there are one hundred (100) Mbps peaks observed, Cisco would discard the top five (5) Mbps peaks and the next highest Mbps peak is Your 95th Percentile Bandwidth. So, if the highest six (6) Mbps peaks were measured as 22Mbps, 25Mbps, 28Mbps, 35Mbps, 27Mbps, and 24Mpbs for that thirty (30) day period, Your 95th Percentile Bandwidth would be 22Mbps.

2.4. Cisco Umbrella Secure Internet Gateway Essentials (“SIG Essentials”)

The following use limitations apply in connection with Your use of Cisco Umbrella Secure Internet Gateway Essentials and Cisco Umbrella Secure Internet Gateway SIG Essentials Add-On (collectively, “SIG Essentials”).

SIG Essentialsis licensed based on the quantity of Users and is subject to an Average Bandwidth (as defined below) limit of 50 kilobits per second (“kbps”). “Users” means the total number of internet-connected users licensed to use the Cloud Service under Your subscription. Cisco will continuously measure Your usage of SIG Essentials throughout a rolling thirty (30) day period to determine Your Average Bandwidth. If at any time Cisco determines that Your Average Bandwidth has exceeded 50 kbps, Cisco reserves the right to require You to purchase additional licenses as required to reduce Your Average Bandwidth to 50 kbps. The formula for Average Bandwidth is:

Average Bandwidth = 95th Percentile Bandwidth / Number of Users

The 95th Percentile Bandwidth is calculated by: (i) observing Your traffic samples over the course of thirty (30) days at each Cisco Umbrella data center Your traffic is sent to, (ii) discarding the top 5% of the traffic samples at each such data center and taking the next highest traffic sample value (“Peak Value”), and (iii) adding together the Peak Value for each data center. Traffic samples for purposes of this calculation include DNS traffic, secure web gateway (proxy) traffic and CDFW traffic (Layer 3, Layer 4 and if applicable, Layer 7).

For example, if the Peak Value at one data center is 1,000,000 kbps and the Peak Value at a second data center Your traffic is sent to is 10,000 kbps, the 95th Percentile Bandwidth is 1,000,000 + 10,000 = 1,010,000 kbps. The Average Bandwidth would be 1,010,000 kbps divided by the number of Users licensed under Your subscription. If You have 25,000 users covered by Your subscription. Your Average per user Bandwidth for the monitored period is 1,010,000 / 25,000 = 40.4 kbps.For example, if the Peak Value at one data center is 1,000,000 kbps and the Peak Value at a second data center Your traffic is sent to is 10,000 kbps, the 95th Percentile Bandwidth is 1,000,000 + 10,000 = 1,010,000 kbps. The Average Bandwidth would be 1,010,000 kbps divided by the number of Users licensed under Your subscription. If You have 25,000 users covered by Your subscription. Your Average per user Bandwidth for the monitored period is 1,010,000 / 25,000 = 40.4 kbps.

2.5. Cisco Umbrella DNS Security Essentials and DNS Security Advantage (“DNS Security”)

The following use limitations apply in connection with Your use of Cisco Umbrella DNS Security Essentials and DNS Security Advantage (collectively, “DNS Security”).

DNS Security is licensed based on the quantity of Users and is subject to a Monthly DNS Query Average (as defined below) limit of three thousand (3,000) DNS queries per User per day. Cisco will continuously monitor Your usage of DNS Security on a monthly basis to determine

Your Monthly DNS Query Average. If at any time Cisco determines that Your Monthly DNS Query Average has exceeded three thousand (3,000) DNS queries per User per day, Cisco reserves the right to require You to purchase additional licenses as required.

Monthly DNS Query Average = (number of DNS queries in applicable month / number of days in applicable month) / number of licensed Users

For example, if You purchased licenses for 1,000 Users and Your Users submitted a total of 3,000,000 DNS queries in the prior 30-day month, Your Monthly DNS Query Average is as follows:

(3,000,000 / 30) / 1,000 = 100

2.6. Cisco Umbrella Investigate for MSSP

Notwithstanding the license grant in the Acceptable Use section of the UCA, if You purchased a Cisco Umbrella Investigate for MSSP SKU labeled UMB-INV-CONSOLE-SP and/or UMB-INV-INT-API-SP (collectively, “Investigate for MSSP”), You may use Investigate for MSSP as a tool to perform research and generate reports for the benefit of Your third party customers solely as part of connectivity, management, and/or administrative services You provide to Your third party customers.

Any co-branding of Investigate for MSSP by You shall be subject to the guidelines located here: https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/security/umbrella/umbrella-sps-co-brandingguidelines.pdf and any additional intellectual property and trademark guidelines set forth in the UCA. For clarity, if You provide any research, data, or results generated from Your use of Investigate for MSSP to Your third party customers, You must at all times credit Cisco as the source of such information following the above guidelines.

3. Service Level Agreement

For purposes of this Service Availability Commitment, “Service” shall be defined as Cisco’s recursive DNS service and does not include web-based user interfaces, configuration systems or other data access or manipulation methods. Cisco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain Cisco Umbrella Service availability of 99.999% of each calendar month. Availability will be calculated by dividing the total number of minutes of Uptime (defined below) during the applicable calendar month by the total number of minutes in such month, minus minutes of Cisco Umbrella Service Outages (defined below) occurring due to scheduled maintenance and attributable to Third Party Actions (defined below), and multiplying that amount by 100. The formula for this calculation is as follows:

Availability = (X ÷ Y) x 100

X= Total # of minutes of Uptime during calendar month

Y= (Total # of minutes in such calendar month) - (Total # of minutes of Outages from scheduled maintenance and Third Party Actions)

For the purposes of this calculation, (i) An “Outage” means Cisco Umbrella is completely unreachable when Your Internet connection is working correctly, (ii) “Uptime” means the number of minutes where there were no Cisco Umbrella Service Outages, excluding Outagesfor scheduled maintenance and Third Party Actions, and (iii) “Third Party Action” means any action beyond Cisco’s reasonable control including, without limitation, the performance of Internet networks controlled by other companies or traffic exchange points that are controlled by other companies, labor strikes or shortages, riots, insurrection, fires, flood, storm, explosions, acts of God, war, terrorism, governmental action, labor conditions, earthquakes and material shortages. If a dispute arises about whether or not an Outage occurred, Cisco shall make a determination in good faith based on its system logs, monitoring reports and configuration records, and as between customer records and Cisco records, Cisco records shall control. Cisco shall not be responsible for any Cisco Umbrella Outages arising out of Third Party Actions.

4. Data Protection

Cisco’s data protection obligations are set forth in the Agreement. The Cisco Umbrella, Cisco Threat Response, and Cisco SecureX Privacy Data Sheets (available here) supplement the Cisco Privacy Statement and describe the Personal Data that Cisco collects and processes as part of the delivery of the Cloud Services. Additionally, Cisco Umbrella Insights, Cisco Umbrella Platform, Cisco Umbrella Secure Internet Gateway (SIG) Essentials, Cisco Umbrella DNS Security Advantage, and Cisco Umbrella Secure Internet Gateway (SIG) Essentials Add-on package(s) leverage(s) the Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) Ecosystem.
