ECOSYSTEM EXCHANGE

Today’s cybersecurity teams face hundreds to thousands of alerts each day, far more than the 10 to 15 they can effectively handle. They must also deal with dozens of security tools, manual processes and staff shortages.

With Infoblox Ecosystem Exchange, security organizations gain a highly interconnected set of integrations that enable them to eliminate silos, optimize their security orchestration automation and response (SOAR) solution and improve the ROI of their entire cybersecurity ecosystem, including third-party, multi-vendor assets. It reduces the time and cost of threat response through enhanced automation and real-time, two-way data sharing across the ecosystem enabled by extensive APIs.

Advanced Threat Detection

BloxOne^TM Threat Defense automatically shares information with advanced threat detection solutions on incidents involving Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) activity and malicious domains. Infoblox then automatically blocks, logs events or takes appropriate action on these threats.

Benefits:

• Enables flexible policy enforcement
• Rapidly identifies infected devices
• Builds defense and remediation into IT systems and processes

Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP)

Infoblox Threat Intelligence Data Exchange (TIDE) automatically sends information on malicious hostnames, IP addresses and URLs to the threat intelligence platform (TIP). TIP enables blocking and monitoring of more threats.

Benefits:

• Reduces the number of alerts that require review
• Improves situational awareness for network and security organizations
• Improves overall security posture

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)

Infoblox sends information on IP addresses, infected devices and suspicious DNS requests and responses to SIEM. SIEM can use this information to perform analysis and take action.

Benefits:

• Provides consolidated visibility into device activity regardless of where log data was generated
• Provides context for more accurate prioritization of security events
• Improves operational efficiency of network ops and IT teams

Vulnerability Management

Infoblox sends information on IP addresses, network devices and malicious events to vulnerability management. Vulnerability management uses that information to automatically trigger scans, enabling easier compliance and faster remediation.

Benefits:

• Provides near-real-time visibility into new devices as they join the network
• Automates and accelerates response to network changes and malicious events
• Improves ROI of existing security investments

Network Access Control (NAC)

Infoblox provides information on IP addresses, network devices and DNS security events. NAC solutions can use that information to get context to better prioritize threats and take more immediate action (such as taking the device off the network) to shorten time to containment

Benefits:

• Expands visibility into network infrastructure, users and devices
• Provides vital context for threat prioritization
• Enables consistent policy enforcement

Next-Generation Endpoint Security

Infoblox detects DNS-based malware communications and informs next-generation endpoint security technologies. These products can identify malicious processes, quarantine the endpoint or take other actions. For added protection, endpoint security solutions can incorporate Infoblox client agents.

Benefits:

• Quickly identifies and prevents DNS-based endpoint communications to malicious domains
• Automatically responds to endpoint threats, reducing dwell time
• Enables mass deployment of Infoblox endpoint agent for DNS security and streamlines workflows

Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW)

NGFW receives malicious hostnames, IP addresses and URLs from Infoblox TIDE. NGFW enables customers to block or monitor threats.

Benefits:

• Reduces the number of alerts security teams must review
• Improves situational awareness for network and security organizations
• Improves overall security posture

Web Gateway

BloxOne Threat Defense blocks DNS-based data exfiltration, as well as DNS requests to malicious domains before forwarding the traffic to McAfee Web Gateway. The web gateway then scans traffic for further inspection with URL filtering, SSL and more.

Benefits:

• Unifies domain blocking and HTTP security for broader protection
• Speeds detection of malicious traffic originating from infected endpoints, regardless of its location
• Compliments web gateway with DNS based threat intelligence

ITSM, ITOM and Security Operations

Infoblox sends information on new devices, networks and IP addresses to ITSM, ITOM and Security Operations. Network and security administrators gain a consolidated view of all the device and event information Infoblox discovers.

Benefits:

• Provides at-a-glance dashboard views into devices and endpoints joining and leaving the network
• Enables proactive identification of network issues to accelerate response to network changes and security events

Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR)

SOAR solution receives information on IP address, network devices and malicious events from Infoblox. SOAR uses that information to block/unblock/check domain and check information about IP/host/network/domain in IPAM. Infoblox automatically enriches IPAM with data from security tools and events.

Benefits:

• Integrates disparate security tools and provide vendor-neutral threat intelligence for all devices
• Automates and produces faster response with the full set of threat intelligence APIs
• Enhances and improves incident response with better threat intelligence
• Improves security processes by integrating with other systems via SOAR
