Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

DNS security is like HTTP security of the past. This new thing called DNS over HTTPS makes it impossible to do anymore. cisco Umbrella DNS is not viable as a product because of this new encryption system

Q1 release will be today at 1:30pm pst. Will they announce a new round of LRs?

@ncf+17T9KXAb you posted "When you request a web page, it sends a DNS query to Cisco Umbrella, if it is a "Nasty" website then Cisco's umbrella blocks it." That functionality comes from something called Response Policy Zones (RPZ) OpenDNS did not invent that. RPZ is standard part of the DNS protocol. So nobody needs Cisco for that.

Ha! Pretty good synopsis!

When JC was around, he would have let people talk. I remember he use to go to meetings and ask if anyone disagreed with him.

And then he would just wait... (pin drop silence).

Some one person always put her hand up.

And she or he would say what they thought.

JC would listen to that person without interrupting them.

Cisco management do that now?

Wo !!
This article already has almost a thousand views.
Rumor is that someone in Upper Management posted this.

OP,off your medication much? Christ , what a verbal diarrhoea! Get a handle on yourself man. See a shrink or at least get some counselling. Good luck, don’t buy any guns.

i think it's about time the OP just left cisco. You have gone a touch batty. Do something that makes you happy- you are not in jail.

We have cloud routers, cloud switches and they selling like hot cakes. Yippieee, Cisco is back in the game.

Cisco's "Cloud Security" probably should be called "Internet Security".

1. It was originally called OpenDNS (Cisco bought that company for $385 million). DNS is an Internet protocol. DNS is not a Cloud protocol.

2. Cisco rebranded OpenDNS as "Umbrella", like, how an umbrella protects you from rain. A cloud brings rain. So then someone at Cisco, maybe said, let's call it a cloud technology.

3. Cisco desperately needs to put the "cloud" label on as many products as possible, and starts calling it "Cloud Security".

4. When you request a web page, it sends a DNS query to Cisco Umbrella, if it is a "Nasty" website then Cisco's umbrella blocks it.

5. Your teenager downloads a VPN and bypasses this security altogether.

"I googled Cisco Cloud Security and found a Cisco marketing page which had this to say, "Cisco Cloud Email Security blocks and remediates email threats" and I thought to myself how does it do that? Does it send spam to your users with links to training videos about how not to click on links in emails? That's what Cisco does to secure its emails. I'd fall for it every time and the training video I had to watch told me that I should have know it was a phishing attack because of the misspellings and bad grammar in the email. But most of the emails I got from Cisco employees had misspellings and bad grammar."

Wow! Impressive.
I have a free email account that already does that.

Why would anyone think that Cisco knows something about Cloud Security? Does Google, Amazon or Microsoft use any Cisco Cloud Security products? I don't think so. So where is Cisco selling this Cloud Security vaporware?

Probably selling it in the quarterly meeting. Cisco Cloud Security, you want fries with that?

Any employee that asks in depth questions about Cisco Cloud security products would be sidelined and LRd... citing a lack of soft skills

Make an inquiry as to the availability of this "cloud security" product, as of today?

I'd be curious to know if this product is available now, or just a road map topic?
