SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Infoblox Inc., the network control company that provides Actionable Network Intelligence, today announced its flagship product for infrastructure protection, Advanced Domain Name System (DNS) Protection, is now available as a virtual offering with software subscription pricing. Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection prevents a wide range of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and other external and internal DNS-based attacks while maintaining DNS integrity and service availability. Designed to meet the growing adoption of cloud-first strategies and address the shift towards virtualization, Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection allows organizations the flexibility to deploy in physical and virtual environments.
The security of the network and DNS servers are mission-critical because if the DNS server goes down, the entire network is shut off from the Internet. DNS is now the number one targeted service for application-layer attacks and is the number one protocol used in reflection/amplification attacks. Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection provides defense against the widest range of DNS-based attacks such as DNS DDoS exploits, NXDOMAIN, DNS data exfiltration, and DNS hijacking. Unlike approaches that rely on infrastructure over-provisioning or simple response-rate limiting, Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection intelligently detects and mitigates DNS attacks while responding only to legitimate queries.
“Infoblox is extending its market-leading infrastructure protection solution, now with software economics and elastic scale, to allow enterprises to cost-effectively protect their entire network from being the next DDoS attack victim,” said Scott Fulton, executive vice president of products at Infoblox. “A growing threat to business operations are attacks that compromise the integrity of the network - the heart blood of the modern business. If the network goes down it can have serious consequences, damaging the brand, and impacting service availability to customers. Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection provides this critical protection without compromising feature functionality.”
Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection empowers businesses to:
- Reduce DNS service disruption by maintaining application and service availability
- Adapt to evolving threats with a pre-packaged set of threat protection rules
- Utilize data for threat management and view attack patterns and sources
- Reduce burden on budget with subscription-based pricing which shifts from paying all costs upfront into digestible price points
