350-701 Practice Question: Which TWO of the following are features of Cisco…
Which TWO of the following are features of Cisco Umbrella? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between DNS-layer security and SWG as separate features of Umbrella, while tempting candidates to confuse Umbrella with a full NGFW or CASB, which are separate products in Cisco's security portfolio.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Secure web gateway
Cisco Umbrella provides DNS-layer security as a core feature, which blocks requests to malicious domains before a connection is established, effectively preventing malware, phishing, and command-and-control callbacks. It also includes a Secure Web Gateway (SWG) that enforces URL filtering, application controls, and HTTPS inspection to protect users from web-based threats. These two capabilities are fundamental to Umbrella's cloud-delivered security architecture.
