Infoblox delivers enhanced preemptive protection against AI-driven attacks

Infoblox, a cloud networking and security services provider, has upgraded its protective domain name server (DNS) solution, Infoblox Threat Defense, empowering organisations to stay ahead of sophisticated, AI-driven cyberthreats with preemptive security.

As global cybercrime costs surge toward US$23 T by 2027*, traditional “detect-and-respond” security tools are struggling to keep up. Modern attackers increasingly deploy AI to create unique, single-use malware and stealthy phishing campaigns that evade traditional defences.

Infoblox’s Infoblox Threat Defense, combines predictive threat intelligence with algorithmic and machine learning-based detections — blocking high-risk and malicious domains an average of 68 days earlier than traditional tools, with a 0.0002% false positive rate.

“The difference between most DNS security tools and our approach is like the difference between law enforcement chasing street-level drug dealers versus taking down the cartel,” said Mukesh Gupta, Chief Product Officer, Infoblox.

“We target the suppliers behind the cyberattackers—the cartel—so threats can be blocked before they ever reach the network. This preemptive strategy helps security teams reduce risk, eliminate noise and stop threats at the DNS layer before they ever reach the network.”

Feature highlights include:

- Protection before impact: Clear, quantifiable metrics on threats neutralised before they can cause damage, streamlining reporting and demonstrating security ROI.

- Security Workspace: An intuitive, centralised interface that gives security teams deep visibility into their environment with actionable insights to reduce risk and ultimately speed their mean time to respond (MTTR).

- Detection Mode: Provides organisations visibility into threats they’re missing today—without changing the existing DNS configuration.

- Asset data integration: Delivers deep context into what was protected as part of the preemptive strategy, enabling security teams to do further investigation and analysis.

- Token-based licensing: Flexible, token-based pricing aligned to protected assets simplifies procurement and drives clearer ROI.

- Powering cloud DNS armour: Infoblox’s protective DNS capabilities also power Google Cloud’s DNS armour, providing native security for cloud workloads. Public preview is slated for later this year.

Infoblox Threat Defense gives security teams predictive insights to block attacks as threat actor infrastructure is being created—before malware is even deployed. Unlike traditional security tools that must wait for the first victim (patient zero) be hit, then detect the attack and respond, Infoblox’s approach can preempt the attack entirely.

By stopping attacks earlier, Infoblox reduces the load on detect-and-respond tools, such as extended detection and response (XDR) and security information and event management (SIEM)—aligning with Gartner’s view that preemptive cybersecurity will replace 40% of traditional solutions by 2028. The latest NIST SP 800-81 guidelines reinforce this shift, noting that DNS can often prevent security incidents earlier than other systems.

“Traditional ‘detect-and-respond’ security simply can’t keep pace with today’s AI-driven attackers and malware. Cybercrime is evolving faster than ever, costing the world trillions and exploiting gaps in legacy defenses,” said Scott Harrell, President and CEO, Infoblox.

“The legacy kill chain approach depends on someone else being ‘patient zero’ so those legacy systems can learn and react—but attackers today customise malware to target individual businesses or industries, rendering legacy, reactive approaches ineffective against modern AI-enabled attackers. When you’re patient zero, the only thing being ‘killed’ is your business. The future of cybersecurity must be preemptive: stop threats before they ever reach your organisation.”

AWS: AI adoption grows 20% in Singapore

Image
Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com company, has found* that AI adoption continues to accelerate in Singapore. In the past year alone, 27,000 1 Singapore businesses adopted AI for the first time—equivalent to over three new adopters every hour. In sum, nearly 170,000 (48%) of businesses in Singapore have adopted AI 2 , up from approximately 143,000 (40%) a year ago. This represents a 20% year-over-year growth rate, AWS said. AI adoption is the strongest in the financial services industry (71%), followed by the technology sector ( software developers, data analytics firms, cloud service providers, and digital startups) at 70%, and healthcare at 63%. Among Singapore’s businesses that have adopted AI, 82% reported an increase in revenue, at an average increase of 19%, while 90% report significant productivity improvements. A large majority (85%) of those who have adopted AI say the technology is likely to increase their growth in the next year, and 89% expect an average of 17%...
