Cloud-native security and networking provider Infoblox Inc. today announced “SOC Insights,” a new artificial intelligence-driven security operations solution that boosts domain name system detection and response as part of the company’s BloxOne Threat Defense solution.

Designed to empower security analysts to jumpstart investigations, SOC Insights reduces response times by turning security events, networks, ecosystems and unique DNS intelligence data into a manageable set of immediate, actionable insights at AI speed, according to the company.

Infoblox claims SOC Insights goes beyond simple malware risk-based dashboards and allows cybersecurity teams to reduce mean-time-to-respond by eliminating time wasted by consolidating individual alerts into unique insights. Each insight provides easy access to device, event, attacker infrastructure details and Infoblox unique DNS intelligence data. That, the company says, eliminates the need for SecOps teams to spend time tracking each individual alert or waiting on NetOps for user and device information for context around threat activity.

Using SOC Insights with Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense helps eliminate critical SecOps challenges, such as dealing with increasingly complex cyber-attacks. SecOps teams can apply unique DNS threat intelligence to identify threats other tools miss and proactively disrupt the adversary’s infrastructure to stop threats before they occur, Infoblox claims.

The solution addresses alert fatigue by quickly identifying which events matter the most by narrowing down hundreds of thousands of alerts to a more manageable set of insights and incident response times are reduced by eliminating wasted time collecting, filtering and interpreting vast amounts of event, network and unique DNS intelligence data.

It can also help with existing security tools, allowing for the sharing of AI-driven insights with correlated and filtered data to make other tools in the security stack more effective, further improving the efficiency of SOC tools and teams.

“SOC Insights is a game-changer for SecOps, allowing them to focus on what really matters, especially when they’re up against limited budget and resources,” Craig Sanderson, vice president of security and product management at Infoblox, said ahead of the announcement. “At Infoblox, we envision a future where AI-driven analytics and DNS-driven intelligence dramatically elevate SecOps efficiency, with SOC Insights setting the industry standard.”
