Empowering innovation and success through Infoblox critical network services, automation and security.

DNS, DHCP and IP address management are collectively known as DDI. Learn why security, cloud, application and DevOps teams all have skin in the DDI game and what happens when they're left out of the conversation.

Many organizations aspire to enabling infrastructure automation, GitOps and self-healing systems but struggle with IT fundamentals like network stability, asset management, observability and identity access. Without a strong foundation, automation efforts will struggle. We'll explore the key fundamentals that organizations must have before embarking on their automation journey as well as some common pitfalls usually encountered.

In today's complex, hybrid work environment, relying on a traditional firewall or even a SASE solution for Domain Name System (DNS) security is like using a padlock on your front door while leaving your back door wide open. While these solutions are essential parts of a robust security stack, they simply don't have the granular visibility and native control over DNS traffic that a dedicated DDI provider offers. For true end-to-end protection, a DDI-based DNS security solution is the superior choice.

DNS is the most queried protocol in any enterprise — and the most exploited. A DDI solution with native DNS security and Threat Intelligence does not simply detect threats at the perimeter; it identifies, correlates, and blocks malicious activity before a single byte reaches an endpoint. Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense, powered by real-time TIDE and Dossier intelligence, delivers exactly that — at scale, across hybrid and multicloud environments.

Navigating DNS security in hybrid and multicloud environments poses challenges, such as fragmentation, logging gaps, and service availability risks. As cloud resources evolve, visibility and AI-powered detection become crucial for countering threats such as DNS tunneling and hijacking. Strategic integration of DDI platforms and cloud-native tools is essential for robust security.
