Networks are about people, not just devices. To that end, network and security administrators are constantly challenged to optimize translation of network device information to the people who are using them. This correlation is a cumbersome task, leading to less than optimal operations. Infoblox has put on its thinking cap and devised a unique way to tackle this problem.<\/p>\n

Infoblox Identity Mapping, announced today, bridges this gap, making it easier for network administrators to locate the source of security events, track mobile devices, monitor network usage and more. In short, Infoblox Identity Mapping introduces user identity as a front and center piece of information throughout the Infoblox user interface.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0Infoblox Identity Mapping, it is possible to see associated users virtually anywhere an IP address is displayed. In the instance of a security breach, for example, it\u2019s easier to zero in on which devices are involved. And, of course, the faster IT teams can identify potential breach information, the faster it can be remediated. This is the first time an enterprise-grade DDI solution has offered this capability.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been able to make this connection by making the answer more obvious. The Infoblox Identity Mapping feature analyzes Microsoft event logs for records of user log in, log out and authentication, bringing the information into the Infoblox IP address management (IPAM) database, providing a truly authoritative data source.<\/p>\n

Here are a few deployment scenarios for Infoblox Identity Mapping:<\/p>\n
