AI agents are a force multiplier but that force cuts both ways. Our Rubrik Zero Labs research found that 98% of Australian security leaders cite identity-driven attacks as their top concern. With 99% already integrating or planning to integrate AI into identity systems, the stakes have never been higher.

Nearly all malicious domains are now unique to a single enterprise - a development Infoblox's Scott Harrell said undermines the traditional model of shared threat intelligence. As each attack becomes unique, the benefits of global threat sharing diminish. That creates a need to shift from a largely reactive defense stance to one that's more proactive in nature, Harrell said.

New research from Infoblox Threat Intel shows that parked domains—long treated as harmless and forgotten ad pages—have become a reliable tool for malicious actors. In largescale experiments, over 90% of visits to parked domains redirected the visitor to scams, scareware, illegal content, or malware, driven by abuse of “direct search/zero-click” ad systems.

Typing a web address directly into your browser feels harmless. In fact, it feels normal. But new research shows that a simple habit is now one of the riskiest things you can do online. A recent study from cybersecurity firm Infoblox reveals a troubling shift.

Direct navigation — the act of visiting a website by manually typing a domain name in a web browser — has never been riskier: A new study finds the vast majority of “parked” domains — mostly expired or dormant domain names, or common misspellings of popular websites — are now configured to redirect visitors to sites that foist scams and malware.

Infoblox has announced the launch of Infoblox AWS Marketplace managed rules for AWS Network Firewall. This new integration strengthens organizations’ cloud security posture with predictive, DNS-based threat intelligence natively within their existing Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments.

AI is moving from experimentation to embedded capability, reshaping how enterprises design systems, make decisions, and organise work. The pace of model evolution and the strain on data foundations are forcing organisations to rethink everything from infrastructure to governance. This compilation gathers 2026’s most critical perspectives on where AI is heading next, highlighting the shifts that will matter for business strategy, technical leadership, and real-world adoption.

Cybercrime, operational disruption, and the expanding attack surface are converging to create a more volatile security environment than at any point in the past decade. AI-driven threats, geopolitical tension, and tighter regulatory expectations are raising the stakes for defenders across APAC.
