Infoblox 2026 Threat Landscape Report
The threat landscape has shifted to an industrialized cybercrime economy fueled by adversarial frontier AI that can overwhelm even the most skilled defenses. Reacting is no longer enough.
Download the Infoblox Threat Landscape Report now to explore the large-scale tactics behind the latest cyberattacks.
Preempt industrialized cybercrime
Defenders once relied on known attack vectors to keep attackers out at the perimeter and endpoint. Today, cybercriminals leverage automated marketplaces, frontier AI and resilient infrastructures to evade traditional defenses. Download the report to uncover hidden attack surfaces and equip your team with the intelligence to regain the advantage.
Insights gained from billions of daily DNS queries
120 million
newly observed domains identified by Infoblox over the past year
27 million
newly observed domains classified as malicious or suspicious, revealing how threats can hide in plain sight
88%
of threat-related domains are seen in a single-customer environment, making traditional detect-and-respond tools much less effective
Four perspectives on threats
This report examines how attackers operate at scale, use increasingly sophisticated lures and exploit new attack surfaces that often fall outside traditional security visibility.
The cybercrime machine
Threat actors thrive in an industrialized cybercrime economy powered by frontier AI and DNS abuse.
Hidden infrastructures
Attackers exploit adtech platforms and bulletproof hosting to profile targets, hijack DNS and deploy evasive attacks at scale.
Evolving lures
Attackers are refining their lures, delivery methods and campaigns to reach the most vulnerable and deceive their intended targets.
Attack surface evolution
Threat actors are relentless in seeking new opportunities within the enterprise to bypass defenses and maintain their advantage.
Cybercrime is no longer just growing; it is becoming more efficient, automated and harder to stop. The line between financially motivated and state actors has blurred in a complex economy that allows criminals to evade disruption.”

Preemptive security—where defense begins
By analyzing threat activity at the DNS level, hidden adversarial infrastructure can be exposed before attacks launch. Preemptive security is essential to reduce risk, close visibility gaps and stop industrialized cybercrime before threats can ever take hold.
