While most of the world is now implementing hybrid, multi-cloud infrastructure, operations teams now face a mission-critical mandate to better manage today’s complex multi-cloud environments. In fact, new research by the Enterprise Strategy Group highlights this reality with 76% of respondents reporting that their teams are under pressure to be more agile to accelerate developer velocity.

A converged approach to hybrid, multi-cloud networking leveraging an enterprise-grade DNS, DHCP and IPAM (DDI) platform is foundational to multi-cloud maturity, but there are headwinds with EMA research showing that only 41% of organizations have been successful in their DDI implementation.

This webinar will cover both the impediments to DDI success, and best practices employed by more mature organizations by exploring:

- Cloud Disruption: The networking team implementing DDI tools are often disconnected from the cloud engineering and DevOps teams to effectively influence the use of DDI in a platform approach.
- Siloed DDI: The use of separate tools by separate teams to manage separate environments results in a lack of integration between the network and business systems, monitoring solutions, and automation tools exacerbating the visibility gap.
- DDI Security Blindspot: A lack of confidence in DNS security and a lack of focus on securing IPAM and DHCP leaves organizations vulnerable to a range of network-based attacks.
- The Central Role of Collaboration: Just as DevOps removed organizational and cultural barriers between teams, so too must a collaborative approach be employed to bring DDI implementations to platform and cloud engineering teams.
- DDI to Support the Emergence of AI Workload: AI workloads are not only compute and storage intensive, they are networking intensive requiring reliant and performant connectivity to assure the right data is collected and transferred to the right LLM or data lake in support of business requirements.

Operationalizing DDI for a Unified and Secure Approach to Multi-cloud Networking

The traditional malware-centric approach to threat detection is fast becoming obsolete and inadequate. Most security solutions use a post-incident-centric approach to threat detection, blocking attacks once an initial compromise has happened. But that is too late.
 
Threat actors have become more sophisticated, often exploiting the vulnerability of remote employees and using lookalike domains to launch MFA attacks, which in fact was the single most visible and threatening attack of 2023. While some actors like to register and age domains before using them in attacks several months down the line, others like to register a domain and launch an attack within minutes, sometimes targeting a specific organization.
 
A true paradigm shift is necessary—one that can proactively protect enterprises from criminal actors as they build their infrastructure. Infoblox Threat Intel combines market-leading DNS expertise with cutting-edge data science to identify threat actor infrastructure before the actors use them and disrupts communications to those high-risk domains.
 
Join this webinar to learn from the global head of threat intel on how Infoblox:
 
- Connects the dots and tracks threat actors in DNS, with examples
- Reduces MTTD  and proactively mitigates targeted attacks within minutes of a domain getting registered
- Improves the efficacy of existing security and observability tools

Join this LIVE webinar to learn more about the results organizations with a mature approach to managing hybrid multi-cloud operations are achieving and what they are doing to lead the way.

Hybrid, Multi-Cloud Management Is Key to Delivering Better Business Outcomes

SOC Teams are at a crossroads between choosing platform solutions or best-of-breed products. This webinar, hosted by Infoblox and ThreatQuotient, champions a strategic shift towards integrating best-of-breed solutions, specifically through Infoblox's SOC Insights and ThreatQuotient's DataLinq Engine. One strategic, yet underused, best-of-breed solution to protect the security infrastructure is DNS data and security. 

Infoblox is a leader in DNS security and our AI-driven analytics transform DNS and other data into actionable insights, streamlining threat prioritization. Meanwhile, ThreatQuotient's approach to data—emphasizing integration from more than 400 data sources, plus normalization, correlation, prioritization, and automation—illustrates the critical role of a sophisticated data-driven approach in effective cybersecurity operations. Put the two together and you can leverage DNS data and security across the entirety of your security infrastructure to support the SOC’s threat detection, investigation and response initiatives.

The Speed of Network Modernization

In mainstream media, cybercriminals are often portrayed as exotic figures that employ dark arts of computer programming to disrupt social order. Realistically, many of them function like a typical e-commerce business and much of their operation mirror those of online advertising networks. To thrive in the cybercrime industry, they require a continuous stream of web traffic to their malicious infrastructure. A practical way of achieving this is by partnering with web traffic brokers. Such entities play a key role in fueling cybercrime because they feed downstream threat actors with potential victims. VexTrio, a web traffic broker and malicious content creator, is responsible for driving victim traffic to a large number of cyber criminals.

Join Infoblox’s Head of Threat Intelligence, Renée Burton, for an in-depth discussion with researchers Christopher Kim and Randy McEoin, who will discuss new research on VexTrio and its role in the cybercrime economy as a traffic distribution system (TDS).
