About
OpenDNS was founded in 2006 to provide a safer, faster internet browsing experience. The company offered DNS resolution services with phishing protection, content filtering, and enterprise security capabilities. In 2012, OpenDNS launched Umbrella, a cloud-based enterprise security product designed to protect organizations from malware, botnets, and phishing. Cisco acquired OpenDNS in August 2015 for $635 million, after which the enterprise product was rebranded as Cisco Umbrella while the consumer-facing OpenDNS brand was retained.
