Infoblox unites networking and security to deliver unmatched performance and protection. Trusted by Fortune 100 companies and emerging innovators, we provide real-time visibility and control over who and what connects to your network, so your organization runs faster and stops threats earlier.

The broad adoption of multiple cloud providers has given rise to a “hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure for many organizations, which has increased security, compliance, and network management complexity. For instance, multi-cloud expands the attack surface, orphaned cloud assets create greater costs, and CSP-specific networking services (including DNS) propagate still more silos of point tools.  

Doug Cahill, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) Senior VP and Analyst, reviews ESG’s exclusive research findings on multi-cloud adoption and explains how to alleviate these challenges in this Custom Talk with Infoblox.

Watch this expert session to overcome your current multi-cloud networking challenges with Cahill’s guidance from years of in-depth market experience, as well as the following:

- ESG’s predictions for future multi-cloud adoption trends
- Methods of tackling top app management challenges resulting from multiple CSPs
- How to integrate security visibility with network control & cloud agility
- How Infoblox’s portfolio eliminates complexity with unified visibility, cost management, DNS management, and cybersecurity use cases.

ESG Analyst Best Practices for Multi Cloud Network Management and Security

Since the inception of DNS, cyber attacks that leverage the protocol have mushroomed. More than 90% of malware uses DNS in some form. The ubiquity of DNS, coupled with its historic lack of security controls have made it a prevalent attack vector today.

Knowledge of DNS is crucial for security teams. Understanding its vulnerabilities and how to leverage the protective capabilities of DNS can help you mitigate those threats.

Join Cricket Liu, Chief DNS Evangelist, and a panel of experts as they explore:

- How malware uses DNS and threat actors leverage DNS
- Why governments are implementing regulations recommending protective DNS services for public and private industry
- How DNS can be leveraged in zero trust architectures
- How to leverage your DNS infrastructure to improve your security posture

Why Security Professionals Should Care About DNS

In April 2023, Infoblox disclosed the discovery of Decoy Dog, a malware toolkit that uses the domain name system (DNS) to perform command and control (C2). Decoy Dog had operated for over a year before detection. Since then we continued our research to understand the nature and severity of this threat. What we found is both alarming and mysterious. The toolkit is based on Pupy, an open-source remote access trojan (RAT), but is far more sophisticated than the pen tester’s tool. While this traffic looks like Pupy, Decoy Dog is a fundamentally new, previously unknown, malware with many features to persist on a compromised device.

Join this Infoblox webinar and learn how, using DNS, Infoblox was able to not only discover Decoy Dog, but determine it was an advanced persistent threat run by actors who are highly motivated to maintain access to their victims. The topics will include:

- What is Decoy Dog and why should we care 
- How Infoblox used DNS to discover and analyze Decoy Dog
- How Infoblox used DNS to determine that Decoy Dog was operated by multiple actors, estimate the number of compromised devices, and understand the nature of the communications – all without the malware itself 
- How actors responded to the Infoblox disclosure to continue their operations 
- What research data Infoblox has released to the security community to help identify compromised devices and stop the malware

Decoy Dog is No Ordinary Pupy: Separating a Sly DNS Malware from the Pack

The threat landscape is evolving, and attackers are spending a lot of time planning and setting up infrastructure well in advance to launch persistent attacks such as SMS Phishing (smishing) attacks, which have increased significantly in the last year. On the other side of the equation is the increasing trends of hybrid work, cloud adoption, IoT deployments, and mainstream AI, which have made securing these networks more challenging  than ever before. 

DNS Detection and Response is a new approach to detection and response that combines Protective DNS capabilities with device context and integrations to stop attacks others miss, stops attacks earlier, and protects businesses everywhere  while helping transform your security effectiveness. DNS Detection and Response acts as a first point of contact eliminating malicious traffic effectively. 

Join founder and principal analyst of ZK Research, Zeus Kerravala, and Infoblox Senior Director of Product Marketing, Krupa Srivatsan, for this webinar to learn more about:

- The challenges security professionals face in a hyperconnected world 
- The role of DNS Detection and Response as the first point of contact for inbound traffic 
- The benefits of a protective DNS model
- Recommendations for businesses to enhance their security posture

Transform Security Effectiveness with DNS Detection and Response

Today’s commercial, enterprise and government organizations require round-the-clock network availability and performance. But disruptive events are a constant threat to business continuity. Components or applications go down, transactions time-out, systems are attacked, natural disasters occur and systems are taken offline for maintenance. It’s not so much if your network will go down but when. And when it does, it can be costly. One recent industry report1 found that over 60% of outages cost more than $100K. Fortunately, Infoblox offers solutions for ensuring continuous application availability and responsive disaster recovery. 

In this webinar, we will explore best practices for critical network services to help you achieve the highest level of uptime and resiliency:
 
- Explore three network design principles that can ensure network reliability.
- Discover five strategies for delivering highly available infrastructure.
- Learn best practices and affordable options for resilient data center and hybrid networks.
- Gain new insights into local survivability for distributed and remote enterprises.

Drive Uptime and Performance: Business Continuity and Local Survivability

Network-wide visibility is essential for building a more responsive network with performance your business, users and customers depend on, whenever or wherever they connect. Visibility requires a fully discovered, synchronized and authoritative data repository including all network-connected devices, users and applications in a single administrative interface. This is crucial for distributed environments since network metadata is automatically synchronized to inform all required decisions and actions, allowing you to deliver a more responsive network. 
 
Join this webinar to learn how critical network services deliver core-to-edge visibility, automation and control:
 
- Visibility – Quickly identify and resolve network issues and make informed decisions on network upgrades and related projects.
 
- Automation – Replace time-consuming, error-prone processes with intelligent automation and administration. 
 
- Control – Improve network uptime, resiliency and response with contextual data for real-time threat intelligence

Unlocking the Power of Core-to-Edge Visibility, Automation & Control

DNS is a foundational element of network communications and is also the starting point for countless cyberattacks. Threat actors abuse DNS to install malware, exfiltrate data, and perpetrate malware threats. Cyber threats that leverage DNS are widespread, sophisticated, and rapidly evolving. 

The book The Hidden Potential of DNS in Security reveals how attackers exploit DNS and how cybersecurity professionals can proactively use DNS to turn the tables and mitigate those threats.

Join Cricket Liu, Chief DNS Evangelist in a LIVE  interview with the authors to explore: 

- Why DNS is inherently vulnerable
- Why knowledge of DNS is now crucial for security teams
- What common misconceptions and emerging technologies inspired them to write the book
- What every  security professional needs to know about DNS
- How you can improve your security posture using DNS infrastructure you already have

“This book is a must have in any cybersecurity professional’s collection.”
 -Anthony C. CISSP, Senior SecOps Manager
“The information is invaluable for security folks who not only want to understand how the bad guys use DNS, but also how to use that information to beat the bad guys at their own game.”
 -Kate M. CISSP, Security Architect
