Background: OpenDNS (acquired by Cisco, Aug 2015), is a cyber security company leveraging DNS and big data for predictive intelligence. Two flagship products, Umbrella and Investigate, query from 80 billion DNS requests per day.
Challenge: The OpenDNS Umbrella app’s login screen was gray, uninviting, and didn’t leverage screen real estate effectively. Additionally the new design must also accommodate the new two factor authentication login workflow.
Solution: Designed a dynamic login screen with a greeting contextual to the time of day and the user. The new login screen also provide useful information such as the latest cyber security news from the OpenDNS security blog.
