New managed rules on AWS Marketplace help enterprises block cloud threats earlier, cut rule-management overhead, and strengthen perimeter defence using DNS intelligence
Infoblox has expanded its cloud security portfolio with the launch of AWS Marketplace–managed rules for AWS Network Firewall, embedding predictive, DNS-based threat intelligence directly into Amazon Web Services environments. The move enables organisations to stop malicious connections earlier in the attack chain while simplifying cloud firewall operations and accelerating time to protection.
The managed rules are powered by Infoblox DNS threat intelligence and deliver curated rule groups that allow AWS Network Firewall to automatically detect and block access to malicious domains. By integrating directly with AWS-native security controls, the solution removes the need for additional infrastructure or complex third-party deployments, making advanced threat protection easier to adopt at scale.
“DNS is the most effective way to provide preemptive protection, and bringing predictive intelligence natively to AWS changes the security equation for cloud workloads.”
— Mukesh Gupta, Chief Product Officer, Infoblox
As cybercriminals increasingly rely on automation, AI-driven techniques, and DNS abuse to deliver phishing attacks, establish command-and-control channels, and exfiltrate data, traditional perimeter defences are struggling to keep pace. DNS has emerged as a critical control layer, allowing organisations to disrupt threats before malware execution or data compromise occurs. Infoblox’s approach focuses on prevention rather than post-incident response.
Deployment is designed to be simple and operationally efficient. Customers can subscribe to and activate Infoblox managed rules directly from the AWS Network Firewall console, eliminating manual rule writing and ongoing maintenance. Automated updates ensure protections stay current, helping organisations reduce setup time by more than 90 percent compared to traditional firewall configurations. Customers using Infoblox threat feeds also report a sharp reduction in downstream alerts, easing the burden on security operations teams.
The intelligence behind the service is informed by analysis of more than 70 billion DNS queries processed daily across global enterprise and service provider networks. This scale enables early identification of emerging threats and continuous updates to security controls, helping organisations stay ahead of fast-moving attacks.
Infoblox managed rules also provide AWS-native visibility through alerts and logs, giving security teams confirmation that threats are being blocked without increasing alert fatigue. Currently available in limited preview, the solution will expand to include the full breadth of Infoblox threat intelligence signals at general availability, reinforcing a cloud-native, automated approach to predictive security.
