At a time when digital transformation is accelerating and cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, companies must ensure that their network infrastructure is not only efficient, but also highly secure. In this context, Infoblox is a world leader in the DNS-based automated and security network services.
Specialized in the integrated management of DNS, DHCP and IP addresses (all known as DDI), Infoblox provides cloud and on-site solutions that enable companies to gain visibility, efficiency and resilience. Thanks to its innovative platform, Infoblox helps organizations build a robust, automated and protected network base.
What is Infoblox?
Created in 1999, Infoblox is a technology company based in California. It offers solutions allowing companies to manage their basic network services centrally and automatedly:
- DNS (Domain Name System) : converts domain names to IP addresses.
- DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) : Dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices.
- IPAM (IP Address Management) : manages and tracks all IP addresses used on the network.
These services, although often invisible, are essential for the proper functioning of any computer network. Infoblox adds a layer of Advanced cybersecurity, making network infrastructure a lever of protection against cyber attacks.
A cloud-native platform: BloxOne®
With the rise of cloud computingRisk telework Environments Multi-site, Infoblox developed BloxOne®, its platform cloud-native DDI and DNS security. This solution allows:
- Centralised management of DNS, DHCP and IMAP services.
- Rapid and flexible deployment, adapted to hybrid infrastructures.
- Full visibility on all network environments (physical, cloud, edge).
- Smooth integration with existing cybersecurity tools.
BloxOne DDI responds to the challenges posed by modern distributed networks, ensuring performance, reliability and safety without compromise.
DNS Security: the first line of defense
DNS is often Targeted or exploited cybercriminals to carry out attacks such as:
- Phishing
- Data capture
- Communications with command and control servers (C2)
- Unauthorized access via malicious domains
Infoblox secures the DNS by blocking these behaviors upstream. Thanks to Threat Intelligence Integrated behaviour analysis in real time, the platform can detect and block suspicious queries, and even automatically isolate compromised devices.
Integration and automation
Infoblox seamlessly integrates with a wide range of cybersecurity and IT management solutions:
- SIEM tools : Plunk, IBM QRadar, etc.
- Firewalls Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, Fortinet.
- ISTSM : ServiceNow, Ansible.
- Cloud providers AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud.
Lautomation is at the heart of the Infoblox approach. For example, when a device is detected as potentially malicious, Infoblox can automatically remove its IP address, block communications and generate an alert ticket in the company's ITSM tool. Outcome: Reduction in incident response time and manual effort.
The advantages of Infoblox
Network reliability
Human errors in manual IP and DNS management can cause major interruptions. Infoblox reduces these risks through automated management and redundancy mechanisms.
Enhanced security
By integrating security from the DNS level, Infoblox enables early detection of threatsoften invisible for traditional solutions.
Operational effectiveness
The centralization of DDI management, automation and intuitive dashboards enable the management of large networks with small teams.
Evolutivity
Infoblox adapts to the needs of small businesses as well as multinationals, and evolves easily with the growth of the organisation.
Regulatory compliance
Detailed logs and complete traceability of changes facilitate compliance with standards such as GDPR, HIPAA or ISO 27001.
