What you can automate with Cisco Umbrella

Cisco Umbrella is a cloud-delivered security platform that provides DNS-layer protection, secure web gateway capabilities, and threat intelligence across your network. The n8n Cisco Umbrella node lets you automate DNS security operations — managing domain block lists, investigating DNS activity, and responding to threats without manual intervention in the Umbrella dashboard. DNS is the first step in almost every internet connection, which makes it an ideal enforcement point for security. Cisco Umbrella inspects DNS requests before they resolve, blocking connections to known malicious domains, phishing sites, and command-and-control servers. But managing policies, investigating blocked requests, and maintaining custom block lists manually takes time that security teams rarely have. With n8n, you can build workflows that automatically add newly discovered malicious domains to your Umbrella block lists, pull DNS activity reports on a schedule, investigate suspicious domains flagged by other security tools, and generate compliance reports showing blocked threat categories. It integrates cleanly with the rest of your security stack through n8n’s node ecosystem. Osher Digital helps Australian businesses automate their security operations with n8n. Whether you need DNS security policy management, automated data processing for security logs, or end-to-end system integrations across your security stack, our team builds workflows that keep your defences current without constant manual effort.

Frequently Asked Questions

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Cisco Umbrella

As Cisco Umbrella consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Cisco Umbrella with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Generate Umbrella API Credentials

Log into the Cisco Umbrella dashboard and navigate to the API Keys section. Create a new key pair with the appropriate scope for the operations your workflow needs — management API for policy changes or reporting API for log access.

Step 2

Configure n8n Credentials

Add the Cisco Umbrella credentials in n8n, entering your API key and secret. Test the connection to ensure n8n can communicate with your Umbrella instance and has the permissions needed for your planned operations.

Step 3

Plan Your DNS Security Workflow

Define the trigger and action pattern. Common workflows include threat feed ingestion for block list updates, scheduled DNS activity reports, or alert-driven domain investigations triggered by your SIEM or monitoring tools.

Step 4

Add the Cisco Umbrella Node

Place the node in your workflow and select the operation — add to destination list, query DNS activity, retrieve security reports, or manage policies. Connect input data from your trigger to the node's parameters.

Step 5

Build Processing Logic

Add nodes to deduplicate domains before adding them to block lists, parse threat intelligence formats, or aggregate DNS activity data into summary reports. This middleware layer ensures clean, accurate data flows into Umbrella.

Step 6

Validate and Activate

Test the workflow with known-safe test domains and verify that list updates, queries, and reports execute correctly. Check the Umbrella dashboard to confirm changes appear as expected before enabling production triggers.
