This IDC Market Perspective focuses on how Infoblox leverages the domain name system (DNS) to enhance cybersecurity through detection and response and threat intelligence. By utilizing DNS, Infoblox provides visibility into domain-to-domain connections and identifies indicators of compromise, significantly reducing mean time to respond by 34%. Infoblox's approach - which includes maintaining billions of DNS transaction records and actively tracking malicious domains - offers a novel and effective method for preemptive threat blocking and cybersecurity management without the need for additional network agents."DNS is the unsung hero in cybersecurity, transforming threat detection and intelligence with every query. Infoblox elevates DNS from a basic network function to a cornerstone of cybersecurity strategy." - Christopher Kissel, research vice president, Security and Trust at IDC"Through DNS, we uncover the hidden narratives of cyberthreats, offering unprecedented visibility and response capabilities." - Monika Soltysik, senior research analyst, Security and Trust at IDC
