Identity and SIG Deployment

An Umbrella identity represents a network entity, user, or group. You can add an identity to an Umbrella policy and enable security settings, and destination and content access controls. For information about Umbrella policies, see Umbrella Policies Overview.

Umbrella can identify a user, group, or network entity by:

  • Public IP address
  • Internal IP address and hostname
  • IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) tunnel authentication: IKEv2 (Internet Key Exchange, version 2)
  • Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)
  • Active Directory users and groups
  • G Suite identity

The following table describes the Umbrella deployment and identity types.
