Infoblox brings message of ‘uniting and simplifying networking and security’ to GITEX GLOBAL 2023

Infoblox, a company that delivers a simplified, cloud-enabled networking and security platform for improved performance and protection, has announced its presence at GITEX GLOBAL 2023, taking place between 16-20 October at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).

The company will be exhibiting on its partner Starlink’s stand (at the entrance of Hall 3) and its participation will be centred around its mission of ‘Uniting and simplifying networking and security to power a world that never stops’.

“Cybersecurity threats and breaches are at an all-time high today,” said Mohammed Al-Moneer, Senior Regional Director, META Region, Infoblox. “Enterprises are increasingly adopting hybrid and multi-cloud environments to stay competitive, creating additional complexity and expanding attack surfaces. In this scenario, real-time threat protection and more resilient network performance can only happen when networking and security work side by side.

“Infoblox is leading the industry to unite networking and security teams to better protect against cyberattacks. GITEX is the perfect platform to enter into high-level discussions with regional enterprises and share our vision, expertise, technology innovations and successes in securing the networks of some of the world’s largest companies.”

Infoblox is uniquely positioned – the company’s solutions help enable NetOps and SecOps to work more efficiently by uniting their view of user context and DNS data, so everything runs faster, works better and is more secure. Uniting saves NetOps and SecOps time, by uniting real-time user and device context, eliminating critical network and security bottlenecks. Unlocking this unparalleled visibility and control empowers customers to deliver the protection and performance they need today. Infoblox’s cloud-first, consultative approach provides customers with specific solutions and actions to help them build more resilient networks and stop critical threats sooner, based on their unique business needs.

Trade attendees visiting Infoblox at GITEX can expect to learn more about the following innovations among others:

• BloxOne Platform – is the world’s first 100% cloud-native core networking and security services architecture. Infoblox has applied the latest advances in software-defined networking, microservices, virtualisation and containerisation through Docker and Kubernetes to radically simplify the control and automation of vital DNS, DHCP, IPAM and security services via the cloud.

• BloxOne Threat Defense – operates at the DNS level to see threats that other solutions do not and stops attacks earlier in the threat lifecycle. Through pervasive automation and ecosystem integration, it drives efficiencies in SecOps, uplifts the effectiveness of the existing security stack, secures digital and work-from-anywhere efforts and lowers the total cost of cybersecurity. Using tools included in Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense, security teams can collect, normalise and distribute highly accurate, multi-sourced threat intelligence to strengthen the entire security stack, secure DNS and boost SecOps efficiency.

• BloxOne DDI – is the industry’s first cloud-managed solution that enables organisations to centrally control and automate DNS, DHCP and IP address management (DDI) for hybrid and multi-cloud networks. Built on the cloud-native BloxOne Platform and available as a SaaS service, BloxOne DDI eliminates the complexity, bottlenecks and scalability limitations of traditional DDI implementations.

• Infoblox Threat Intelligence – provides curated, multi-sourced threat intelligence that strengthens the organisation’s entire security portfolio. Using tools included in Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense, security teams can collect, normalise and distribute highly accurate, multi-sourced threat intelligence to strengthen the entire security stack and secure DNS. Additional capabilities empower SecOps to accelerate threat investigation and response by up to two-thirds.

Executives from Infoblox will also share the company’s future roadmap with trade visitors. “Infoblox will continue to invest in developing cloud-based solutions to help customers secure their networks and data,” Al-Moneer added. “This could include offerings like cloud-based DDI (DNS, DHCP and IP address management) and security services that provide visibility and threat detection across hybrid cloud environments. Automation is a key focus area for Infoblox and customers can expect to see more network automation features added to our solutions. We are also likely to continue focusing on improving the user experience of our products, with a particular emphasis on making our solutions easier to use and more intuitive.”
