Infoblox Core Exchange Infoblox Core Exchange is a highly-interconnected set of ecosystem integrations that extend security, increase agility, and provide situational awareness for more efficient operations, on-premises and in the cloud. It provides visibility across the entire network including virtualized or cloud deployments, remove silos between network and security teams, improve agility, automates IT workflows, enables faster remediation to threat and network changes and provide better ROI on IT and security investments already made. Cybersecurity Ecosystem Infoblox Core Exchange Overview Threat data feeds for use in ecosystem SIEM Threat Intel Platforms Firewall SIEM Vulnerability Scanner Device Discovery Grid Member DNS/DHCP with ActiveTrust NAC Network Infrastructure (Switches, Routers, Firewalls etc.) Endpoint Security Internal Clients APT/Malware Detection Security teams deal with thousands of alerts each day from various systems and tools they use. Knowing which alerts to prioritize and address first is a challenge. Often, it is a manual process to get the data from various disparate sources, piece them together and understand the broader picture. Today s organizations also use varied deployments and architectures from physical to virtual to cloud. Knowing what s on the network and getting visibility into these diverse architectures is critical to securing the network.
Core network services like DNS, DHCP and IPAM contains a gold mine of network data that shows exactly what devices are on the network, where they are on the network, what they are doing and if there is any malicious activity happening on the network. Sharing this valuable network and security intelligence, and network context with the broader security ecosystem can enable prioritization and help remediate threats faster.
