Cisco Umbrella is a tool used by UWM (per UW System Regents Policy 25-3) to block access to known harmful or unwanted websites for campus workstations. Umbrella only works while on campus, but thanks to the Umbrella Roaming Client, these web security settings also apply to remote UWM workstations that are not on the VPN.

If you attempt to access a website that is blocked by Cisco Umbrella, the block page shown below will appear in your web browser. Please be aware that this webpage is legitimate and expected. If you believe the page was blocked in error, please call the UWM Help Desk at 414-229-4040 or visit uwm.edu/helpdesk.
