Note below how Cisco Security Connector shows “Protected by Umbrella” and the status shows “Protected.” This is the case whether on WiFi or cellular.

Next, let’s have a look at how Cisco Clarity looks on Cisco Security Connector. Cisco Clarity is simply Cisco AMP for Endpoints on iOS. See below how the illustration shows that Cisco Clarity is enabled and connected. This device shows up in the AMP for Endpoints dashboard like any other endpoint. You can see all security events occurring on the device. You can even perform a Device Trajectory to see all file activity on this device.
