Information about Cisco Umbrella SIG can be found here. [https://umbrella.cisco.com/products/sig-product](https://umbrella.cisco.com/products/sig-product) In a previous blog I’ve talked about Cisco Umbrella DNS-layer and how to secure your organization at the DNS level. In today’s blog I wanted to highlight Cisco Umbrella Cloud-delivered Firewall (CDFW). It is a Cisco Umbrella SIG feature and requires some prerequisites before deploying successfully. ![Cisco Umbrella Cloud Delivered Firewall](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hubfs/undefined-Sep-28-2022-10-11-59-79-PM.png) Once all these requirements are meet, we will need to create an IPsec tunnel between our device and the Umbrella headend. In the lab that I used a CSR device was provided to me. Umbrella online guides provide addition information on how to deploy to ASA, FTD, AWS, and go into further detail on IPsec tunnel and routing configuration. [https://docs.umbrella.com/umbrella-user-guide/docs/tunnels](https://docs.umbrella.com/umbrella-user-guide/docs/tunnels)   ![Cisco Umbrella Cloud Delivered Firewall](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Sep-28-2022-10-12-32-78-PM.png?width=500&name=undefined-Sep-28-2022-10-12-32-78-PM.png)   In our Umbrella dashboard we will want to navigate to the location Network Tunnels. Here we will setup our IPsec tunnel information, such as tunnel identification and pass phrase. ![Cisco Umbrella Cloud Delivered Firewall](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hubfs/undefined-Sep-28-2022-10-13-30-57-PM.png) Here we will configure the tunnel destination and our tunnel identity into our CSR device. ![Cisco Umbrella Cloud Delivered Firewall](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hubfs/undefined-Sep-28-2022-10-13-30-97-PM.png) ![Cisco Umbrella Cloud Delivered Firewall](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hubfs/undefined-Sep-28-2022-10-13-30-74-PM.png) Here we will configure the tunnel destination and our tunnel identity into our CSR device. ![Cisco Umbrella Cloud Delivered Firewall](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hubfs/undefined-Sep-28-2022-10-13-57-46-PM.png)   I bounced the tunnel and waited…Finally the tunnel came up. ![Cisco Umbrella Cloud Delivered Firewall](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hubfs/undefined-Sep-28-2022-10-14-30-09-PM.png) Umbrella Dashboard checks out! ![Cisco Umbrella Cloud Delivered Firewall](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hubfs/undefined-Sep-28-2022-10-14-58-28-PM.png)   Our next move once we’ve setup the IPsec tunnel between Umbrella and our device is to start configuring firewall policies. With these policies we can allow and restrict based on layer 3, layer 4 and layer 7. We are greeted with a default policy that allows all traffic. ![Cisco Umbrella Cloud Delivered Firewall](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hubfs/undefined-Sep-28-2022-10-15-36-03-PM.png) I wrote a policy to block access to a specific IP address within our location. Enabled logging and the rule itself. ![Cisco Umbrella Cloud Delivered Firewall](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hubfs/undefined-Sep-28-2022-10-16-04-58-PM.png) Proceeded to tested access but was denied due to our new rule. As the logs show we hit our rule. We can review the logs and see that our traffic is identified by the tunnel name we used earlier. ![Cisco Umbrella Cloud Delivered Firewall](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hubfs/undefined-Sep-28-2022-10-16-48-71-PM.png)   ![Cisco Umbrella Cloud Delivered Firewall](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hubfs/undefined-Sep-28-2022-10-16-48-91-PM.png) From here we can continue to leverage much more, such as stopping users from using applications. We can write policies to police applications that we do not wish on our networks like bit torrents.
