Cisco Umbrella

Cisco Umbrella is a cloud security platform that provides an additional line of defense against malicious software and threats on the internet by using threat intelligence. This helps prevent adware, malware, botnets, phishing attacks, and other known bad websites from being accessed.

Setup and Configure

As Cisco Umbrella uses OAuth2 authentication, follow the steps below to create credentials.

1. On the left side menu, navigate to Admin > API Keys.

   

2. Click on the + button at the top right corner.

   

3. Add the API Key Name and Description as per your project requirements. Select the Key Scope as per RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). Choose the key Expiry Date if needed; by default, it is set to Never expire.

   
   

4. Click the CREATE KEY button.

   

5. The API Key (client ID) and Key Secret (client secret) will be created. Copy and save them as required because they will not be visible again.

   

6. Click on the ACCEPT AND CLOSE button.

   

7. The newly created API key is displayed below.

   

8. If you need to refresh the API key and key secret with the same key scope configuration, the REFRESH KEY option can be used.
