OpenDNS set to launch a mobile security product named Umbrella?


OpenDNS had an interesting blog post where they talked about a new service named Umbrella that would be announced in the coming days.

Between now and our launch I will be sharing some of my thoughts about how we view the changing nature of work, how mobility and increased access to connectivity will change the way we view and address security, and how the security industry will need to change to better help companies maintain visibility, policy and control in a world without well-defined network perimeters. For good reasons that I’ll soon be sharing with you, we call this new service Umbrella. If you are interested in becoming an early tester, or just finding out when we launch, go ahead and sign up here: http://www.umbrella.com/

Umbrella website is online and is accepting interested beta testers. The punch line states: Security that works where your users do.

The website background has a guy sitting in what we believe is an airport lounge working on a tablet pc.
