Create a Cisco Security Cloud Control Account

Before you begin

Cisco Security Cloud Control (SCC) provides centralized visibility and management for Cisco's security products. To upgrade from Umbrella DNS to Secure Access - DNS Defense, you’ll need to create a Security Cloud Control account after receiving the Welcome email with your claim code. For more information, see Signing in to Security Cloud Control.

As part of this process, you’ll create a Security Cloud Sign On account. Security Cloud Sign On is the solution to access multiple Cisco security and cloud services with one set of credentials. For more information, see Overview of Security Cloud Sign On.

Finally, you’ll need to setup multifactor authentication for added security, and we recommend using Duo.
