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 adversaries are reshaping how modern cyberattacks begin. Fake domains, impersonation across social platforms and messaging channels, malicious search ads, rogue mobile apps, and leaked credentials on the dark web now form the front lines of attack. These threats operate entirely outside the enterprise and often emerge long before traditional security controls are engaged.   

In this webinar, Renee Burton, VP Threat Intel, Infoblox and Fabio Ramos, CEO, Axur along with Daniel Brody, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Infoblox examine how organizations can adopt a more preemptive approach to managing external threats. The discussion explores why earlier detection of external exposure, faster disruption of malicious infrastructure, and sustained protection against impersonation and fraud are critical to reducing business risk. Attendees will gain insight into attacker tactics and the operational challenges of defending the digital ecosystem beyond the perimeter. The session also examines how security leaders can better protect brands, executives, customers, and users, including through enforcement at key control points such as the DNS layer, in an increasingly AI-driven threat landscape.   

Disclaimer: While Infoblox and Axur have entered into a definitive agreement, the proposed merger has not closed and remains subject to regulatory approval. This webinar reflects the independent perspectives of Infoblox and Axur as two separate companies.

Beyond the Perimeter: Stopping Brand Abuse, Credential Exposure, and External Threats

DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (DDI) are essential to every digital business, yet many organizations still rely on fragmented, legacy tools that can’t keep pace with hybrid and multi-cloud environments. In this webinar, we’ll show how modern, enterprise-grade DDI enables network modernization by reducing the time and overhead of managing critical network services, improving CMDB accuracy, and delivering centralized visibility across on-prem, cloud, and edge assets. You’ll learn how unified DDI minimizes risk, accelerates troubleshooting, and provides a strong foundation for cloud-first strategies and other strategic IT initiatives.  

Why Join: 
- Learn how to build a compelling business case for DDI modernization that resonates with both technical and business leaders.  
- Discover real-world use cases, best practices, and key criteria for selecting the right enterprise-grade DDI solution.  
- Whether your priorities include hybrid/multi-cloud adoption, cloud migration, or reducing operational complexity, this session will show you how modern DDI turns network services into a strategic advantage.

Modernizing Critical Network Services: The Business Case for Enterprise-Grade DDI

For decades, cybersecurity teams have relied on the “patient zero” model: one organization is hit first by a new attack, the industry studies it, and defenses are then deployed to protect others. This approach worked in a pre-AI threat landscape. In a post-AI world, however, it is increasingly ineffective. AI allows attackers to continuously mutate their techniques, so by the time an attack is analyzed, and defenses are rolled out, subsequent attacks look fundamentally different from the original. As a result, defenses based on prior incidents fail to keep up. Attacks now evolve at such speed that, in practice, every organization becomes patient zero. This session will take a technical deep dive into the limitations of patient zero detection in the face of AI-enabled adversaries. We’ll examine how threat actors use automation to launch simultaneous, polymorphic attacks and why organizations must shift toward preemptive defense models. Attendees will gain insight into the latest research and frameworks for building resilience against next-generation threats.

Rethinking Patient Zero Security: Cyber Defense Strategies for the AI Era

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 and EMA 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.
