Quick Start

The Cisco Security Connector integrates a mobile device with Umbrella to protect the device from threats and attacks. Register the mobile device through your Mobile Device Manager (MDM) and add the device to Umbrella as a mobile device identity. The Quick Start guide describes the general steps to register a supervised iOS device through an MDM to Umbrella.

Prerequisites

Procedure

Install the Cisco Security Connector App, configure the mobile device settings in Umbrella, and use an MDM to provision your mobile device with Umbrella.

Step 1: Install the Cisco Security Connector App

  1. On your iOS device, download and install the Cisco Security Connector app.
    Get the Cisco Security Connector app from the App Store. Depending on your MDM, you may be able to deploy the Cisco Security Connector to supervised iOS mobile devices through your MDM.

Step 2: Add an Organization Administrator’s Email Address

The administrator email address is the email address that you can use to send diagnostic reports from the app by clicking the I icon from within the iOS device. These reports can then be passed on to Cisco support. Once set, this email address is automatically added when managing an MDM.

  1. Navigate to Deployments > Core Identities > Mobile Devices and click Settings.
