The company hosts a cloud computing security product suite, Umbrella, designed to protect enterprise customers from malware, botnets, phishing, and targeted online attacks. The OpenDNS Global Network processes an estimated 60 billion DNS queries daily from 50 million active users connected to the service through 24 data centers worldwide.
