New capabilities help organizations stop threats before impact, with predictive intelligence, advanced visibility, and flexible licensing
Infoblox, a global leader in cloud networking and security, has launched powerful enhancements to its Protective DNS solution – Infoblox Threat Defense, equipping organizations to proactively combat the next generation of AI-driven cyber threats.
As cybercrime evolves—projected to cost the world $23 trillion by 2027—traditional detect-and-respond tools are struggling to keep up. Attackers now leverage AI to craft single-use malware and stealthy phishing campaigns that bypass conventional defenses. Infoblox’s latest update is designed to shift cybersecurity left—blocking threats before they ever reach the network.
Infoblox Threat Defense now delivers predictive threat intelligence and machine learning-based detection, blocking malicious domains up to 68 days earlier than legacy systems. It also maintains an exceptional 0.0002% false positive rate, minimizing alert fatigue for SOC teams.
“Preemptive security isn’t optional anymore—it’s the future. When you’re patient zero, it’s your business that’s under attack.”
— Scott Harrell, President & CEO, Infoblox
“The difference between us and most DNS security tools is we go after the infrastructure behind the threat, not just the attack,” said Mukesh Gupta, Chief Product Officer, Infoblox. “It’s like shutting down the cyber cartel before they even reach your door.”
Key new features include:
- Protection Before Impact: Delivers clear metrics on threats neutralized pre-attack.
- Security Workspace: A centralized dashboard with deep threat visibility.
- Detection Mode: Reveals hidden threats without changing DNS configurations.
- Asset Context Integration: Enables precise investigation and response.
- Token-Based Licensing: Scales protection efficiently with flexible pricing.
- Google Cloud Integration: Powers Google Cloud’s DNS Armor, launching in public preview.
The preemptive model reduces reliance on post-breach detection systems like XDR and SIEM, aligning with Gartner’s prediction that 40% of traditional cybersecurity solutions will be replaced by preemptive strategies by 2028.
Customers already see the value. “Before Infoblox, DNS was a blind spot in our security posture,” said Nathan Sinclair, CISO of the City and County of San Francisco. “Now we have deep visibility and real-time protection. It’s a powerful layer of defense.”
With these advancements, Infoblox not only reinforces its leadership in DNS security—it redefines how modern enterprises defend against AI-fueled cyber threats.
