BloxOne Threat Defense is the industry's first hybrid DNS security solution 
enabling enterprises to strengthen and optimize their cybersecurity posture 
from the foundation up 


Infoblox Inc., the leader in Secure Cloud-Managed Network Services, today 
announced BloxOne Threat Defense 
(https://www.infoblox.com/products/bloxone-threat-defense/), the industry's 
first hybrid security offering that leverages DNS as the first line of defense 
to detect and block today's sophisticated cyberthreats. With a scalable hybrid 
architecture, BloxOne Threat Defense secures enterprises' existing networks as 
well as digital transformations like cloud, IoT and SD-WAN deployments. It 
makes an organization's threat analysts more productive and reduces the total 
cost of enterprise threat defense. Formerly known as Active Trust Cloud, this 
enhanced solution reduces incident response time by providing actionable 
intelligence to the organization's security stack, including SOAR (Security 
Orchestration Automation Response), and by automating action using extensive 
ecosystem integrations.

Despite organizations utilizing multiple security tools in their stack, only a 
minimal number of alerts(about 4%) are investigated because they are short 
staffed. According to the Ponemon Institute, data breaches can take enterprises 
an average of 196 days to identify, resulting in a loss of $3.6 million per 
year and impacting brand reputation. Everyday CISOs are challenged to do more 
with less, simplify their security architecture, improve compliance and ensure 
protection for their data.

Enterprises require a scalable, simple, and foundational security solution that 
can catch threats in today's dynamic networks. DNS, critical to the fabric of 
the internet and any IP based communication, is also the least common 
denominator that can serve as the perfect foundation for security because it is 
ubiquitous in networks, is needed for connectivity and can scale to the size of 
the Internet. BloxOne Threat Defense presents a hybrid deployment that ensures 
enterprise networks will be protected at anytime, anywhere, leveraging the 
infrastructure organizations already own-DNS.

Organizations such as Bank Audi s.a.e. need to able to monitor mobile and 
roaming users connecting to their networks. "Our hybrid DNS security solution 
from Infoblox allows our team to easily monitor recursive DNS traffic for 
on-prem or remote users through a single pane of glass," said Moustafa Marzouk, 
head of IT infrastructure and support at Bank Audi s.a.e. "This allows us to 
automatically detect and respond to threats in real-time. Now our team can 
easily integrate with our existing security tools, manage the network from one 
platform and scale for future growth and innovation."

BloxOne Threat Defense uses highly accurate threat intelligence and machine 
learning based analytics to detect modern malware, ransomware, phishing, 
exploit kits, DNS-based data exfiltration, DGA, DNS Messenger, fast-flux 
attacks and more. In addition, the hybrid approach allows organizations to use 
the cloud to detect more threats, while providing deep visibility and full 
integration with the on-premises ecosystem. It also provides resiliency and 
redundancy.

"The traditional security model is inadequate for today's organizations, 
especially as they continue to adopt digital transformation technologies like 
SD WAN, IoT, and cloud," said Kanaiya Vasani, executive vice president of 
products and corporate development at Infoblox. "With BloxOne Threat Defense, 
Infoblox is providing customers with a solution that protects everywhere, 
deploys anywhere, and integrates with the rest of the security stack that is 
already in place, providing a more optimized and streamlined security posture. 
Organizations can worry less about silos created by managing multiple security 
solutions and instead make their security stack work as one fabric."

With BloxOne Threat Defense, Infoblox has further optimized its ActiveTrust 
Suite, helping customers reduce the total cost of threat defense by: 

    -- Offloading strained perimeter defenses, like Next Gen Firewalls, 
       IPS and Web Proxies: Reducing the amount of malicious traffic 
       sent to these solutions by utilizing already-available DNS 
       servers as the first line of defense 
    -- Reducing incident response time by up to two-thirds: Automate 
       responses when malicious behavior is detected, block 
       cyberthreats and provide data for the rest of the ecosystem to 
       investigate and remediate. 
    -- Power SOAR/SIEM platforms and Prioritize response: Leverage DNS, 
       DHCP and IPAM data in SOAR/SIEM platforms to understand 
       criticality of threats and to prioritize responses accordingly 
    -- Make threat analysts three times more productive: Empower 
       security analysts to make quick and accurate decisions while 
       reducing human error with automated threat investigation, 
       insights into related threats, and bad actor and geographical 
       information
