Infoblox has enhanced its Threat Defense platform by adding new features aimed at preempting AI-driven cyberattacks. This platform analyzes DNS traffic in real-time to help enterprise customers detect and block various cyber threats, including malware, phishing, and ransomware. By integrating threat intelligence with machine-learning analytics, Infoblox provides a comprehensive solution for securing on-premises infrastructure, cloud workloads, remote workers, and IoT devices.
The new enhancements include:
-
Preemptive Impact Protection: This feature allows security teams to demonstrate quantifiable metrics related to threat reduction, an essential capability for board accountability.
-
Real-Time Security Workspace: Offers a more intuitive interface for monitoring threats, simplifying the task of understanding security risks without jumping between multiple tool interfaces.
-
Detection Mode: Enables customers to assess the Threat Defense capabilities without altering existing DNS configurations, facilitating easier testing without operational disruptions.
-
Asset Data Integration: Provides immediate context regarding protected users, devices, or cloud workloads, speeding up investigations and remediation efforts.
These features empower organizations to adopt a proactive stance toward cybersecurity, allowing earlier threat disruption, better incident response, and efficient operational procedures. Furthermore, Infoblox has introduced a token-based licensing model that gives customers flexibility in scaling their protection based on their needs.
Recent findings from Infoblox’s 2025 DNS Threat Landscape Report underline the increasing need for secure DNS transactions. The report revealed significant growth in newly observed domains, with over 25% deemed malicious or suspicious. This points to a trend where threat actors use automated processes to deploy large numbers of domains, complicating traditional security defenses that rely on post-attack detection.
In summary, Infoblox’s fortified Threat Defense platform represents a crucial evolution in cybersecurity strategy, aiming to thwart attacks before they can affect organizations. For more insights, visit the 2025 DNS Threat Landscape Report.
