Infoblox and Rapid7 Deliver Security Orchestration to Bridge SilosSANTA CLARA, Calif. and BOSTON, June 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Infoblox Inc., the network control company that provides Actionable Network Intelligence and Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ:RPD), a leading provider of analytics solutions for security and IT operations, today announced new solution integrations to provide enhanced security orchestration capabilities. The integration enables security operations teams to automate asset discovery, gain visibility of diverse networks, and improve the efficiency of vulnerability management programs. Organizations will benefit from increased operational efficiency, reduced risk exposure, and improved security posture. Today’s networks use diverse deployment architectures including physical, virtual, and hybrid cloud; a 2016 IDG Enterprise Cloud Computing Survey estimates that 73% of organizations have adopted at least one cloud security component. A significant challenge facing enterprises is getting visibility of what’s on the network because without this knowledge, there is no way to identify risks and threats. Infoblox IP Address Management (IPAM) and security solutions together with Rapid7 Nexpose and newly released InsightVM combine visibility with security orchestration capabilities allowing organizations to automate scanning when new devices join the network or when malicious activity is detected in real time. This can identify threats faster by providing visibility of malicious actvity without having to wait for the next scanning cycle. “Infoblox uses threat intelligence and analytics that enable users to detect and block data exfiltration and malware communications at the DNS level,” said Kanaiya Vasani, vice president of business development at Infoblox. “Infoblox technology can trigger Rapid7 to scan the compromised assets for vulnerabilities, without having to wait for the next scheduled scan. This real-time information and security orchestration enables organizations to break down silos and reduce network blind spots, and automatically take action to block threats and remediate quickly.” Rapid7 Nexpose and InsightVM’s live monitoring gathers continuous data, whether via agents or agentless, to provide security professionals with increased visibility into the risk posed by their entire network footprint, including cloud, virtual, and endpoints. The vulnerability management solutions are designed to provide a fully available, scalable, and efficient way to collect vulnerability data and minimize risk. InsightVM automatically evaluates changes in users’ networks the moment they happen, allowing security professionals to better understand and quickly manage the risk posed to their organization. “Constant change and a rapidly shifting threat landscape is the new-normal for security professionals. Having solutions in place that help provide full, immediate visibility into risk, so security teams can act fast to remediate, is critical,” said Lee Weiner, chief product officer at Rapid7. “Organizations require constant intelligence to discover, locate, and fix threats. Together with Infoblox, we are delivering on the promise of real-time visibility into risk and optimized workflow for accelerated action.” Infoblox and Rapid7 provide security orchestration capabilities:
