EXPOSURE MANAGEMENT

PREEMPT THREATS BEYOND THE PERIMETER

Digital Risk Protection Services (DRPS), part of Infoblox Exposure Management, uses AI discovery and automated takedowns to stop threats before impact.

External digital risk is growing in the age of AI

Attackers exploit exposed credentials, leaked data and trusted brands across domains, social platforms, apps, ads and the dark web. AI accelerates these campaigns beyond manual response.

In an global survey, 87% of security leaders reported AI-driven attacks. DRPS helps uncover, remove and contain these threats before they harm customers or your business.

PHISHING TAKEDOWN AT SCALE

Stop credential harvesting and reduce digital risk

Detect phishing domains, fake login pages and scam infrastructure used to steal credentials and payments.

Built on technology acquired from Axur, DRPS analyzes over 40 million URLs daily to identify malicious infrastructure early and automate takedowns worldwide, with clear visibility into removal status and verified outcomes.

DATA EXPOSURE DETECTION

Find exposed data before attackers exploit it

Identify leaked credentials, payment data, source code and sensitive records across paste sites, forums and the deep and dark web before attackers can weaponize them.

DRPS continuously monitors exposures, maps them to your brand and corporate domains, and helps automate response workflows via native integrations and APIs so teams can reduce fraud and account takeover risk without adding investigation overhead.

BRAND AND SOCIAL PROTECTION

24/7 protection across digital platforms

Track lookalike domains, rogue apps, fake social profiles and malicious ads that abuse your brand to mislead customers or divert payments.

Visual AI in DRPS analyzes layout, logos and context, not just text, to confirm real impersonation even when your brand name isn’t present. Automated takedowns, Protective DNS and browser warnings remove or block threats quickly and help keep users safe until removal is complete.

KEY CAPABILITIES

Preemptive protection from threats

DRPS, part of Exposure Management, detects external abuse, automates takedowns and blocks malicious destinations to cut fraud and risk.

DRPS provides a single view of external threats tied to your brand, domains and executives. It correlates signals from URLs, apps, social accounts and leaked data to surface attacker activity early, before campaigns scale. Threat intelligence highlights the threats that show real abuse, active discussion in underground channels and patterns consistent with coordinated attacker campaigns.

This unified context helps teams move beyond asset visibility to focus on real-world threats that drive fraud, customer harm and business risk.

DRPS manages the full takedown lifecycle across hosting providers, registrars, social platforms, app stores and ad networks. Automated workflows handle notifications, follow-ups and escalations at scale, ensuring malicious infrastructure is removed consistently and verified as complete.

Every case is tracked from detection through confirmed removal, with ongoing monitoring to prevent recurrence.

DRPS identifies external threats, while Protective DNS, part of Threat Defense™, blocks malicious destinations in real time to prevent users from reaching them. Protection begins at the point of resolution, limiting downstream impact even as disruption and takedown efforts continue.

DRPS disrupts threats externally, while Protective DNS blocks them internally. Together, they close the loop between external discovery and internal enforcement, shrinking the window of exposure with less manual effort.

DRPS FAQ

Digital Risk Protection, Explained

Learn how DRPS detects, disrupts and blocks external threats like phishing, brand abuse and credential exposure before attacks gain momentum.

External digital risk protection (often delivered as Digital Risk Protection Services, or DRPS) focuses on identifying and disrupting threats outside the enterprise perimeter, where attackers abuse trusted brands, identities and digital assets. These risks include phishing infrastructure, brand impersonation, fraudulent ads, rogue apps and exposed credentials.

Rather than generating alerts alone, DRPS validates real threats, removes attacker infrastructure through evidence-backed takedowns and helps prevent harm before fraud or account takeover occurs. Within a broader exposure management strategy, DRPS addresses the external side of the attack surface; the goal is measurable risk reduction, not post-incident response.

Attackers increasingly use AI to scale phishing, impersonation and fraud. AI enables them to quickly generate convincing lures, rotate domains, relaunch campaigns and adapt faster than manual defenses can respond.

As a result, the time between attacker setup and user interaction has compressed to hours or minutes. Traditional investigation-driven security models struggle to keep pace, which is why organizations are shifting toward earlier detection, automation and disruption before damage occurs. This is the foundation of an approach rooted in exposure management.

External Attack Surface Management (EASM) provides visibility into what an organization exposes externally, such as domains, IPs, cloud assets and services. DRPS focuses on how attackers actively abuse that exposure through phishing, impersonation and fraud.

Together, they address different stages of risk. EASM shows what exists. DRPS confirms which threats are real, disrupts attacker infrastructure and reduces impact. Both are key components of an exposure management strategy, helping teams move from visibility to action.

Exposure Management takes a preemptive approach by intervening early in the attack lifecycle. Digital Risk Protection Services (DRPS) discovers external threats as they appear, validates real abuse using AI and initiates automated takedowns at scale.

At the same time, Protective DNS blocks access to confirmed malicious destinations for managed users, limiting exposure while takedowns are completed. Continuous monitoring ensures threats stay down, shortening attacker windows and reducing reliance on incident response.

Infoblox Exposure Management brings together Infoblox and Axur to connect external threat discovery, rapid disruption and immediate user protection. DRPS uses Axur’s AI-driven discovery and takedowns to find and remove phishing, fraud, impersonation and credential exposure across the open web, social platforms, ads, apps and the dark web.

Infoblox adds DNS-layer enforcement, attribution and enterprise integration, so protection begins immediately and continues through verified removal, resulting in fewer successful attacks, less fraud and measurable reduction in customer harm.
