Summary

Umbrella Roaming Security
The Umbrella Roaming Security module requires a subscription to a Cisco Umbrella Roaming service with
either the Professional, Insights, Platform, or MSP package. Cisco Umbrella Roaming provides DNS-layer
security when no VPN is active, and a Cisco Umbrella subscription adds Intelligent Proxy. Additionally,
Cisco Umbrella subscriptions provide content filtering, multiple policies, robust reporting, active directory
integration, and much more. The same Umbrella Roaming Security module is used regardless of the
subscription

The Umbrella Roaming module profile (OrgInfo.json) associates each deployment with the corresponding
service, and the corresponding protection features are enabled automatically

The Umbrella Dashboard provides real-time visibility into all of the Internet activity originating from the
Roaming Security module. The level of granularity in policies and reports depends on the Umbrella subscription

Refer to https://umbrella.cisco.com/products/packages for a detailed comparison of which features are included
in which service level subscriptions

Umbrella Roaming Client and Umbrella Roaming Security Module
Incompatibility
The Umbrella Roaming Security module and the Umbrella Roaming Client are incompatible. If you are
deploying the Umbrella Roaming Security module, any existing installation of the Umbrella Roaming Client
will be detected and removed automatically during installation of the Roaming Security module to prevent
conflicts. If the existing installation of the Umbrella Roaming Client is associated with an Umbrella service
subscription, it will automatically be migrated to the Umbrella Roaming Security module unless an OrgInfo.json
file is co-located with the AnyConnect installer, configured for web-deployment or predeployed in the Umbrella
module's directory. You may also wish to manually uninstall the Umbrella Roaming Client prior to deploying
the Umbrella Roaming Security module

Obtain Cisco Umbrella Account
Obtain Cisco Umbrella Account
The Umbrella dashboard (http://dashboard.umbrella.com/) is the login page where you can obtain the profile
(OrgInfo.json) for the AnyConnect Umbrella Roaming Security module to include in your deployment. From
there you can also manage policy and reporting for the activity of the roaming client

Download the OrgInfo File From Dashboard
The OrgInfo.json file is specific information about your Umbrella dashboard instance that lets the Roaming
Security module know where to report and which policies to enforce

To prepare for deploying the Umbrella Roaming Security module, you must obtain the OrgInfo.json file from
the Umbrella dashboard (https://dashboard.umbrella.com)

Click on Roaming Computers in the Identities menu structure and then click the + sign in the upper-left
corner of the page. Scroll down to AnyConnect Umbrella Roaming Security Module and click Module Profile

Refer to the AnyConnect Deployment Overview for specific installation/deployment steps and package and
file specifics

Note When you deploy the OrgInfo.json file for the first time, it is copied to the data subdirectory (/umbrella/data),
where several other registration files are also created. Therefore, if you need to deploy a replacement
OrgInfo.json file, the data subdirectory must be deleted. Alternatively, you can uninstall the Umbrella Roaming
Security module (which deletes the data subdirectory) and reinstall with the new OrgInfo.json file

Get Umbrella Roaming Security Up and Running
When you deploy AnyConnect, the Umbrella Roaming Security module is one of the optional modules that
you can include to enable extra features

For Windows 7 SP1 users, we recommend that you install Microsoft .NET framework 4.0 before installation
or initial use. At startup, the Umbrella service checks if .NET framework 4.0 (or newer) is installed. If it is
not detected, the Umbrella Roaming Security module is not activated, and a message is displayed. To go and
then install the .NET Framework, you must reboot to activate the Umbrella Roaming Security module

Configure the OrgInfo.json File
The OrgInfo.json file contains specific information about your Umbrella service subscription that lets the
Security Roaming module know where to report and which policies to enforce. You can deploy the OrgInfo.json
file and enable the Umbrella Roaming Security module from the ASA or ISE using CLI or GUI. The steps
below describe how to enable from the ASA first and then how to enable from ISE:
ASA CLI
1. Upload the OrgInfo.json that you obtained from the Umbrella dashboard (https://dashboard.umbrella.com)
to the ASA file system

2. Issue the following commands, adjusting the group-policy name as appropriate for your configuration

webvpn
anyconnect profiles OrgInfo disk0:/OrgInfo.json
Umbrella Roaming Security
2
Umbrella Roaming Security
Cloud Update
group-policy DfltGrpPolicy attribute
webvpn
anyconnect profiles value OrgInfo type umbrella
ASDM GUI
1. Navigate to Configuration > Remote Access VPN > Network (Client) Access > AnyConnect Client
Profile

2. Choose Add

3. Give the profile a name

4. Choose the Umbrella Security Roaming Client type from the Profile Usage drop-down menu. The
OrgInfo.json file populates in the Profile Location field

5. Click Upload and browse to the location of the OrgInfo.json file that you downloaded from the dashboard

6. Associate it with the DfltGrpPolicy at the Group Policy drop-down menu. Refer to Enable Additional
AnyConnect Modules to specify the new module name in the group-policy

ISE
Follow these steps to enable from ISE:
1. Upload the OrgInfo.json from the Umbrella dashboard https://dashboard.umbrella.com

2. Rename the file OrgInfo.xml

3. Follow steps in Configure ISE to Deploy AnyConnect

Cloud Update
The Umbrella Roaming Security module can provide automatic updates for all installed AnyConnect modules
from the Umbrella Cloud infrastructure. With Cloud Update, the software upgrades are obtained automatically
from the Umbrella Cloud infrastructure, and the update track is dependent upon that and not any action of the
administrator

By default, automatic updates from Cloud Update are disabled. To enable Cloud Updating for Umbrella
Roaming Security and the rest of AnyConnect, log in to the Umbrella Dashboard. Under the Identities >
Roaming Computers> Settings icon (the gear icon), check Automatically update AnyConnect, including
VPN module, whenever new versions are released. Updates will not occur while VPN is active. By default,
this option is unselected

Consider the following regarding Cloud Update:
• Only the software modules that are currently installed are updated

• Customizations, localizations, and any other deployment types are not supported

• The updates occur only when logged in to a desktop and will not happen if a VPN is established

• With updates disabled, the latest software features and updates will not be available

• Disabling Cloud Update has no effect on other update mechanisms or settings (such as web-deploy,
deferred updates, and so on)

Configure Security Policies and Review the Reports
• Cloud Update ignores devices having newer, unreleased versions of AnyConnect (such as interim releases
and patched versions)

Configure Security Policies and Review the Reports
You must have a Cisco Umbrella Roaming account to receive protection, see reporting information, and
configure policies. For in-depth explanations, visit https://docs.umbrella.com/product/umbrella/ or
https://support.umbrella.com for additional information

After installation, the Roaming Computer is visible in your Umbrella Dashboard within 90 minutes to 2 hours

Navigating and authenticating to https://dashboard.umbrella.com and then going to Identities > Roaming
Computers shows a list of Roaming Clients (both active and inactive), as well as details about each installed
client

Initially, a default policy with a base level of security filtering is applied to your Roaming Computers. This
Default Policy is found in the Policies section of the dashboard (or Configuration > Policy for Cisco Umbrella
accounts)

Reporting for the Roaming Clients is found under the Reports section. Check the Activity Search report to
see DNS traffic from computers with the Umbrella Roaming Security module installed and the VPN turned
off
