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.

AI-driven automation is poised to revolutionize network and security operations—but only if it’s built on accurate, authoritative data. Today, fragmented discovery tools and incomplete CMDBs create systemic risk, slowing innovation and amplifying operational blind spots. EMA’s latest research shows that while 73% of enterprises see AI as a game-changer, poor data quality remains the top barrier. This webinar brings together thought leaders from Infoblox, EMA, and ServiceNow to explore how real-time network truth can unify NetOps and SecOps, eliminate blind spots, and unlock a future where AI becomes an enabler of resilience, agility, and innovation across NOC and SOC environments.

From Blind Spots to Breakthrough: How Accurate Data Visibility Enables AI to Transform NetOps and SecOps

Cybersecurity has entered a new era—one where machine-speed attacks, single-use malicious infrastructure, and AI-driven adversaries are rendering traditional detect-and-respond models dangerously insufficient. CISOs are shifting toward preemptive security—finding exposures before attackers do, blocking threats before connection, and making prevention an operational discipline. 

Join Jeffrey Vinson (former CISO, Harris Health), Andy Ellis (former CISO, Akamai), and Danelle Au (VP, Product & Solutions Marketing, Infoblox) as they break down what preemptive security really means and how to implement it inside modern enterprises. 

Walk away with practical guidance and best practices on: 
- Rebalancing your security strategy for preemptive security versus detection and response 
- How to structure teams for a preemptive security operating model 
- Demonstrating value and building measurable, board-ready KPIs

A CISO Panel: Preemptive Security in an AI World

As organizations expand across hybrid, multi-cloud environments, operational complexity and the pace of change continue to rise. Manual processes and fragmented workflows can no longer keep up with the demands of modern, AI-driven digital infrastructure—automation has become the foundation for agility, efficiency and governance.

In this session, we’ll explore how automating critical network services—DNS, DHCP and IP address management (DDI)—eliminates manual bottlenecks in your infrastructure, transforming it into a strategic enabler.

Join Infoblox and Red Hat Ansible experts to learn how automation can accelerate provisioning, reduce configuration errors, strengthen governance and enable seamless collaboration across NetOps, CloudOps and DevOps teams.

Threat Briefing Q4 2025

How can state-of-the-art technology revolutionize the live sports experience? For Aaron Cook, Chief Information Officer of Miller Sports + Entertainment (MS+E), this is not just an interesting thought experiment. Answering that question is literally his job. In this conversation with Cricket Liu, Infoblox Executive Vice President and Chief Evangelist, Cook is joined by Billy Byers, Senior NOC Engineer of NetCuras, MS+E’s technology partner. They will share how they executed their vision for The Ballpark at America First Square—a brand-new minor league baseball stadium and entertainment district in South Jordan, Utah. 

Join us to learn about: 

- How MS+E solved the challenges of building a network foundation versatile enough to support ballpark IT systems, vendor operations, concessions and guest Wi-Fi for tens of thousands of fans 
- Why they wanted to build not just a ballpark, but a showcase for the modern digital stadium experience 
- How MS+E accelerated deployment to be ready for opening day 
- Why network resiliency, manageability and flexibility are so important for live sports venues, where thousands of spectators and hundreds of critical business systems depend on getting foundational network services right

Building the Digital Stadium of the Future—Today: A Conversation with Miller Sports + Entertainment

Cloud workloads are often exposed to attacks, and adversaries are innovating faster than most defenses can keep up. AI-generated attacks, and covert data exfiltration are just a few of the risks security leaders must address in 2025. To effectively defend against sophisticated attacks, we need a different approach—one that begins with detecting threats preemptively, at the earliest stage of the attack lifecycle: the DNS layer.   

In this session, Google Cloud and Infoblox security experts will: 
- Break down the top 5 risks facing cloud workloads and why they matter to your business. 
- Share recent attacker techniques—from domain generation algorithms to ransomware C2 channels—that bypass traditional defenses. 
- Explore how protective DNS and Google Cloud DNS Armor fit into a preemptive security strategy that blocks attacks earlier and strengthens resilience for cloud workloads and beyond.

Top 5 Cloud Workload Risks in 2025 – How Google Cloud and DNS Security Stop Them Before Impact

In this custom webinar session, John Grady, an experienced analyst at ESG, discusses the most pertinent, critical capabilities with which protective DNS provides organizations like yours and the role of protective DNS in today’s modern cybersecurity stacks. 

For example, through integrations with other SOC tools as well as automation, protective DNS can accelerate threat investigations, improving analyst efficiency and effectiveness.

View this session to also gain insight on:

• How protective DNS can improve visibility into both assets in the environment as well as threats targeting an organization
• Why robust threat intelligence supported by machine learning analytics is critical for protective DNS to be successful
