Add a DNS Security Setting

Cisco Umbrella groups harmful destinations into categories of security threat. To control identity access to these destinations, you can add a DNS Security setting to Umbrella and then select it when adding DNS policies to Umbrella. The advantage to adding DNS Security settings is that you can reuse this setting across multiple DNS policies. For a list of all security categories and a description for each, see DNS Security Categories.

Note: The availability of various settings differs between a DNS and Web policy.
