Threat actors have an unfair advantage
Ransomware attacks are escalating rapidly, with threat actors leveraging AI to accelerate sophisticated malware development and create variants that bypass traditional security measures. Threat actors exploit your DNS infrastructure as a critical attack vector, letting them establish command-and-control (C2) communications and exfiltrate sensitive data.
Why Infoblox for ransomware prevention
Preemptively block 82% of attacks
Infoblox identifies and blocks 82% of threats before the first DNS query, stopping ransomware, phishing and data theft before they start.
Block attacks 68.4 days early
Infoblox monitors and blocks threats an average of 68.4 days before malware activation, earlier than the rest of the industry.
Protect uptime and reputation
Infoblox provides dedicated DNS services separate from other critical systems, so you’ll stay online even if ransomware disables other services.
PROACTIVE RANSOMWARE PREVENTION
DNS is the first point of detection for cyberattacks
By implementing DNS-focused threat intelligence combined with algorithmic and machine learning protections, your security teams can proactively identify and block ransomware, phishing campaigns and data exfiltration attempts before they damage your organization.
This approach effectively counters AI-driven attacks, advanced ransomware variants and stealthy C2 communications.
BUILT FOR SECURITY OPERATIONS
Respond faster using integrations and context
Once we block threats, your SOC teams gain the visibility needed to identify which devices or workloads were involved. Our integrated DNS, DHCP and IPAM (DDI) platform provides real-time insight into device and/or workload behavior.
When threats are detected, you can immediately trigger scans, quarantine endpoints and correlate data to speed up incident response.
CRITICAL SERVICES NEED RESILIENT DNS
Keep DNS and DHCP running during attacks
Your network foundation needs to remain unshakeable while defending against threats. Ransomware often targets multi-function servers hosting identity, DNS and DHCP services simultaneously, impairing critical infrastructure and delaying incident response.
Our dedicated architecture isolates these functions, so even if ransomware targets other servers, you maintain resiliency and preserve business continuity.
We stop ransomware before it causes damage
Our comprehensive strategy anticipates, predicts and stops emerging attacks to neutralize threats on an unparalleled scale.
We track 204,000+
real-time threat actor clusters that supply various services to the attackers, protecting customers from them all.
4 million
new malicious and high-risk domains are added monthly and tracked with DNS threat intelligence.

“With Infoblox Threat Defense, we feel much more confident in our ability to protect each user and device across the entire district from cyberattacks and prevent incidents before they happen.”
Nathan Sinclair
Cyber Defense Operations Manager, City & County of San Francisco
“With Infoblox Threat Defense, we have threat intelligence from Infoblox and from partners continuously feeding into our security stack, which enables us to act on threats faster than ever before. That intelligence enables Infoblox Threat Defense to alert us to critical threats, so we know when we need to immediately block imminent threats. In the past, we weren’t always able to get those things done in a timely fashion. This is a huge advancement for us.”
