# Cisco Umbrella

Integrating **Cisco Umbrella** with ThreatDefence allows you to ingest DNS-layer threat intelligence and security activity into ThreatDefence in real time.

By leveraging Cisco Umbrella’s extensive threat data, you can:

* Improve visibility into malicious domain activity.
* Manage incident response more efficiently.
* Correlate network threats with other security data within ThreatDefence.

## Step 1. Set up Region and Retention

1. Navigate to **Admin → Log Management** and select **Use a Cisco-managed Amazon S3 Bucket**.

   ![Cisco Umbrella Log Management](https://4191868192-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FOlFHF8fl339QOw3Og8L7%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-84ebf7eaa70c0700908e25387184645a9771f5cc%2Fumbrella-image1.png?alt=media)
2. Select a **Region** and **Retention Duration**.

   ![Cisco Umbrella Region Selection](https://4191868192-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FOlFHF8fl339QOw3Og8L7%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-b57862896411557706d7b85ddada8ef60675a152%2Fumbrella-image2.png?alt=media)

**Region:**\
Regional endpoints help minimize latency when downloading logs. Not all Amazon S3 regions are supported. Choose the closest region to your location. To change the region later, you must delete your current settings and reconfigure.

**Retention Duration:**\
Choose **7, 14, or 30 days**. Data older than the selected period will be deleted and cannot be recovered. A shorter retention period is recommended if ingestion is frequent. This setting can be updated at any time.

3. Click **Save**, then **Continue** to confirm your settings.

   ![Cisco Umbrella Save Settings](https://4191868192-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FOlFHF8fl339QOw3Og8L7%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-040921d86ed50bf117ec30662c24067953507c19%2Fumbrella-image3.png?alt=media)
4. Umbrella activates log export to AWS S3. After activation, the **Amazon S3 Summary** page appears:

   ![Cisco Umbrella S3 Summary](https://4191868192-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FOlFHF8fl339QOw3Og8L7%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-9b6550e6ddd73f5918cc4b48cecf8774594739e4%2Fumbrella-image4.png?alt=media)

***

## Step 2. Save Keys

1. Copy the credentials from the **Amazon S3 Summary** page and store them securely.

   > **Important:** This is the only time the **Access Key** and **Secret Key** are shown.\
   > They are required to access your S3 bucket and download logs. If lost, you must regenerate them.
2. After copying the keys, check **Got it** and click **Continue**.

***

## Step 3. Configure ThreatDefence Integration

Provide the following information to your ThreatDefence representative at [**support@threatdefence.com**](mailto:support@threatdefence.com):

* S3 Bucket Name
* S3 Bucket Region
* S3 Bucket Data Path
* AWS Access Key
* AWS Secret Key

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.threatdefence.com/siem-integrations/dns-security/cisco-umbrella.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
