Human beings are known to excel in a host of unique areas, but there remains shockingly little that we do better than growing on a consistent basis. This progressive streak, on our part, has already fetched the world some huge milestones, with technology appearing as a rather unique member of the stated group. The reason why technology’s credentials are so anomalous is purposed around its skill-set, which was unprecedented enough to realize all the possibilities for us that we couldn’t have imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, a closer look should be able to reveal how the whole runner was also very much inspired by the way we applied those skills across a real world environment. The latter component was, in fact, what gave the creation a spectrum-wide presence and made it the ultimate centerpiece of every horizon. Now, having such a powerful tool run the show did expand our experience in many different directions, but even after reaching so far ahead, this prodigious concept called technology will somehow keep on delivering the right goods. The same has grown to become a lot more evident in recent times, and assuming one new GRC-themed development pans out just like we envision, it will only propel that trend towards greater heights over the near future and beyond.
Infoblox Inc., a leader in cloud networking and security services, has officially announced the launch of industry’s first ever AI-driven security operations solution called SOC Insights, which is designed to supplement its DNS Detection and Response platform, BloxOne. According to certain reports, SOC Insights’ comes bearing an ability to help security analysts initiate important investigations, and at the same time, reduce response time by transforming at AI speed those far-reaching security events, network, ecosystem, and unique DNS intelligence data into a compact set of immediate and actionable insights. Markedly enough, each of the resulting insight here carries the means necessary for providing easy access to device, event, and attacker infrastructure details, along with Infoblox unique DNS intelligence data. Such a detail means SecOps teams are no longer required to spend a huge chunk of their time just tracking each individual alert or waiting on NetOps to provide user and device information for context around threat activity. Having covered the initial bits and bobs, we can now talk about the product on a slightly deeper level. For starters, we must acknowledge SOC Insights’ promise of preparing you to hold your own against increasingly complex cyber-attacks. You see, you can apply here Infoblox’s unique DNS threat intelligence, intelligence which will let users identify threats that other tools will most likely miss. This allows us to proactively disrupt the adversaries’ infrastructure and stop threats before they can even become a proper attack. Next up, the solution scores a big upside by enabling users to get past the dangerous reality of alert fatigue. Such a feature automatically contextualizes its significance once you look at how modern security systems tend to make a dedicated alert out of every little inconsequential event. SOC Insights brings to the fore a more streamlined approach here, meaning users can easily identify which events matter the most by narrowing down hundreds of thousands of alerts to a more manageable set of insights.
“DNS is poised to help organizations improve security posture and take a proactive approach to preventing breaches, as well as faster time to remediation of ones that do occur. Bad actors are becoming more sophisticated in attacks, leveraging AI to their advantage. SOC Insights has the potential to allow defenders to stay one step ahead of attackers without any guesswork,” said Will Townsend, VP & Principal Analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy. “By applying AI to vast amounts of DNS and network data, Infoblox is able to provide security teams with proactive threat disruption, insightful analytics, and intelligent ecosystem integrations.”
Building upon that pledge of streamlining the picture, SOC Insights also hands you the keys to speeding up otherwise lengthy incident response times. This is because, with the user saved from the burden of collecting, filtering, and interpreting expansive troves of event, network, and unique DNS intelligence data, they can be expected to initiate an appropriate response quickly, or even automatically against an identified threat. Rounding up the picture for Infoblox’s latest brainchild is a mechanism to optimize a grossly underutilized security ecosystem. The solution will do that job through sharing of AI-driven insights with correlated and filtered data, thus triggering automated responses to make other tools in the security stack more effective.
“Infoblox’s SOC Insights represents a shift in how security operations centers can leverage AI to transform overwhelming volumes of data into precise, actionable intelligence,” said Steven Dickens, VP and Practice Leader at the Futurum Group. “By integrating unique DNS intelligence with AI-driven analytics, SOC Insights not only streamlines SecOps workflows but also sets a new industry benchmark for proactive threat detection and response, ensuring that security teams can stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.”
Founded during the year 1999, Infoblox has risen up on the back of its excellence in uniting networking and security to deliver unmatched performance and protection. This value proposition is present throughout the company’s entire product portfolio, which includes stuff like network infrastructure automation, DHCP, network configuration management, IP Address management, enterprise security, cybersecurity, security, DNS security, DHCP, IPAM, and more. Infoblox’ credentials are further reinforced by its list of clients which has names like Airbus, Adobe, Apple, Carnegie Mellon University Deloitte, Cisco, Hershey, HP, IBM, Morningstar, Pfizer, Starbucks, University of California Berkeley, and many other heavyweights.
“SOC Insights is a game-changer for SecOps, allowing them to focus on what really matters, especially when they’re up against limited budget and resources,” said Craig Sanderson, Vice President, Security and Product Management at Infoblox. “At Infoblox, we envision a future where AI-driven analytics and DNS driven intelligence dramatically elevate SecOps efficiency, with SOC Insights setting the industry standard.”
