Unify DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management — Infoblox DDI

Infoblox automates DNS, DHCP, and IPAM (DDI) and detects/blocks C2 traffic, ransomware, and phishing at the DNS layer with BloxOne Threat Defense — ending the era of managing thousands of IPs in spreadsheets.

Infoblox at a glance

Infoblox is the global leader in DDI — the integration of DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management. Beyond integration, it automatically issues and reclaims IP addresses, brings visibility to cloud, virtualization, and container environments, and uses BloxOne Threat Defense to detect and block malicious domains, C2 (command-and-control) communication, and phishing at the DNS layer.

Many organizations still run DNS and DHCP on individual Windows or BIND servers and track IPs in spreadsheets. This leaves operational risks (IP collisions, allocation errors, no audit trail) and — most importantly — makes it impossible to detect DNS-based attacks like tunneling, data exfiltration, and ransomware C2. Infoblox DDI automates and visualizes the operational foundation, then layers DNS security on top to solve operational efficiency and security together.

As an Infoblox Authorized Partner, Expernet has deployed DDI for large enterprises and public agencies. We support phased migration from Windows/BIND to Infoblox, Active Directory integration, multi-site high availability, and DNS security with BloxOne Threat Defense.

Frequently Asked Questions

4 items
Almost every internet communication uses DNS. Ransomware and malware rely on DNS to reach their C2 servers. DNS security (BloxOne Threat Defense) blocks queries to malicious domains, neutralizing threats at an early stage by preventing infected hosts from communicating outside.
No. Infoblox can coexist with Microsoft DNS/DHCP and migration can be phased. It also integrates seamlessly with Active Directory.
Yes. BloxOne Cloud DDI integrates with AWS Route 53 and Azure DNS, providing a single pane of glass for on-premises and cloud DNS and ensuring hybrid consistency.
Tracking IPs in spreadsheets leads to conflicts (duplicate assignments), wasted unused space, and difficulty finding available addresses for new servers. Infoblox IPAM automates allocation and reclamation and visualizes real-time utilization by subnet.
