Infoblox, a key automated network control company, is set to launch an actionable network intelligence platform across the Middle East region at Gitex Technology Week,

The company will use the Gitex, to be held from October 16 to 20, as a platform for the regional launch of its revolutionary ‘Actionable Network Intelligence Platform’ that uses it’s proven network intelligence to provide actionable control points, visibility, and context.

It will also demonstrate its DNS Firewall as a service solution that extends the company’s industry-leading DNS protection to roaming devices off premise, as well as Infoblox Threat Insight that prevents DNS based data exfiltration with built-in streaming analytics.

On its participation, Cherif Sleiman, the general manager, Middle East and Africa at Infoblox, said: "Today, many organizations are mired in confusion when it comes to securing their networks and broader IT infrastructure. Threat intelligence services give warnings, but don’t provide a path for translating that information into action."

"Monitoring systems warn of malicious activity within a network, but don’t give clarity on where to find infected devices, user information, and other metadata. Most important, network and security administrators are drowning in data and alerts, with no easy way to prioritize effective and timely threat response," he stated.

According to him, the Infoblox is the industry leader in managing DNS, DHCP, and IP addresses - the category known as DDI.

These services are uniquely at the center of every network, making it possible for Infoblox to spot suspicious activity, instantly block outbound communications to malicious destinations, and prevent exfiltration of intellectual property, customer information, and other sensitive data. With the recent acquisition of IID, a leader in global cyberthreat intelligence, Infoblox has created an ‘Actionable Network Intelligence Platform’ that combines threat intelligence with network context to deliver uniquely actionable security insights,” he added.-TradeArabia News Service
