With Axur, Infoblox will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Launch Digital Risk Protection Services (DRPS) <\/strong>which scans more than 40 million URLs daily using multi-modal AI to discover and validate threats including phishing, brand abuse, executive impersonation and credential exposure across web, social platforms, mobile apps and the dark web. It then confirms real abuse and automates takedowns of attacker infrastructure at scale.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turn external threat intelligence into immediate action<\/strong>, feeding DRPS findings directly into Infoblox Threat Defense\u2122 to block malicious destinations while takedowns are in progress, pinpoint which internal assets are reaching out to them and attribute that risk back to the organization, all within minutes of discovery.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8pt;\"><strong>Establish the foundation for Continuous Threat Exposure Management\u00a0<\/strong>as DRPS is the first capability within Infoblox Exposure Management, which will expand in stages over the coming months to deliver an ongoing, measurable approach to reducing risk across an organization\u2019s full attack surface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cInfoblox is extending its leadership in preemptive security by expanding its ability to take down malicious infrastructure before it can be weaponized against enterprises,\u201d said Scott Harrell, president and CEO of Infoblox. \u201cBy combining Axur\u2019s external threat discovery, takedown and threat intelligence with Infoblox\u2019s DNS-based security and intelligence, we expand Infoblox\u2019s preemptive protection beyond enterprises\u2019 perimeter and into arenas like social media, app stores and the dark web.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The acquisition also enhances <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=NHxG1NQ3dMRMour01JfCqjJ-94Isr90hCXOWZKoGAMB7ScLAxMrfHxvcnjVq_tDbdU5snAgiFA56hjtSLimADuhjdfJQ9CIlexc6F61Mc-uFhQVat6G3xm0X20aAK7Hh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Infoblox Threat Intel<\/a> by incorporating complementary skills, research capabilities and data sources. Where Infoblox has uniquely focused on using DNS to detect, understand and disrupt threats across the environment, Axur has focused on how they emerge in the broader digital ecosystem, including the dark web and social platforms. This combined perspective will provide richer context into emerging threats, improve attribution and enable earlier, more proactive disruption, particularly as attackers use AI to scale phishing, impersonation and fraud campaigns globally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAxur brings highly complementary data sources and expertise that meaningfully expand our intelligence portfolio,\u201d said Dr. Ren\u00e9e Burton, vice president of threat intelligence, Infoblox. \u201cTogether, we can connect external signals with DNS-level insight to give customers clearer visibility and more confidence in how they respond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an important milestone for Axur,\u201d said Fabio Ramos, CEO, Axur. \u201cBecoming part of Infoblox allows us to scale our mission globally and combine external threat intelligence with deep network insight to deliver a more proactive, measurable approach to security, and establish the foundation for managing threats across the full attack surface.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Infoblox plans to integrate Axur\u2019s capabilities into its portfolio over time, with additional details to be shared as integration progresses.
