Infoblox unveils customer
momentum for BloxOne
Threat Defense
Infoblox grows security
customer footprint with
railway conglomerate.
Infoblox, a leader in Secure Cloud-
Managed Network Services, has
announced that railway conglomerate
Keio Corporation is using BloxOne Threat
Defense to secure its networks, applications
and user devices wherever they are.
These customers illustrate the demand for
scaling security, which cloud-based DNS
inherently does, to protect the decentralized
corporate network.
“Companies large and small are turning to
cloud-based networks and services more than
ever before, often stitching them on to what
used to be a purely on-premises network,”
said Jesper Andersen, CEO of Infoblox.
“As enterprises become more distributed
and borderless, they need security to stretch
across the entire infrastructure to protect
Jesper Andersen, CEO of Infoblox
users wherever they are. Our BloxOne Threat
Defense uses cloud-native DNS at the core of
the network to simplify and extend security
across the hybrid stack.”
Brandon Butler, Senior Research Analyst of
Enterprise Networks at IDC, said: “Cloudmanaged
DNS security platforms provide
a robust, scalable and secure platform for
protecting any enterprise network, no matter
the size or the origination of the traffic.
“Enterprises that embrace these nextgeneration
security best practices will
ensure their networks are able to securely
scale to meet the needs of their digitally
transforming business.”
Keio Corporation, a Japanese railroad
operator, selected BloxOne Threat
Defense to secure 6,000 computers on the
company’s network. The company chose
Infoblox to use DNS, to more accurately
identify and mitigate threats, including SEO
poisoning attacks and the Emotet malware
that previously went undetected.
“There have been an increasing number
of new web-based threats that have been
difficult to address with a traditional
cybersecurity solution alone,” said Kenichi
Sato, Group IT Officer-in-Charge of the IT
Department at Keio. “It became necessary to
build a more multi-layered defense.”
Hiroko Tamura, Group IT Management
Officer-in-Charge at Keio, said: “Since
Infoblox offers a cloud-based cybersecurity
service, it is easy to deploy to every other
company within the Keio Group.
“It can also flexibly support the addition of
new functions and minimize the hardware
maintenance and operations costs
associated with an on-premises solution.”
COMPANIES LARGE
AND SMALL ARE
TURNING TO
CLOUD-BASED
NETWORKS AND
SERVICES MORE
THAN EVER
BEFORE.
Led by BloxOne Threat Defense’s robust
growth and customer adoption, Infoblox
has quickly earned recognition as a network
security leader. Forbes and The Software
Report respectively named Infoblox one of
the top 10 cybersecurity companies to watch
in 2020 and one of the top 25 cybersecurity
companies of 2019. Additionally, the 2020
Fortress Cyber Defense Award recognised
BloxOne Threat Defense as a winner in the
enterprise network security category for
extending DNS based protection across
multiple clouds and to the Edge.
“These awards and the growth in demand
for BloxOne Threat Defense show the strong
reception for our cloud-native DNS security
solution across healthcare, financial services,
government, technology and other mission
critical sectors,” said Jesper Andersen. “We
expect BloxOne Threat Defense adoption
to continue as companies around the world
invest in securing remote work for the long
haul. On top of building faster and scaling
costs as needed, going cloud-first in the age
of COVID-19 allows organizations to quickly
and easily extend and secure their networks
for users wherever they work.” •
