PREEMPT RANSOMWARE AND OTHER ADVANCED THREATS

Infoblox uses DNS to disrupt ransomware activity before it impacts a network. We track pre-attack activities to prevent attacks from entering an environment or moving laterally.

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.
