- Empowers IT teams to block threats earlier, reduce manual rule maintenance and accelerate time to protection
- Natively integrates into AWS Network Firewall and deployable via AWS Management Console for seamless activation and management
- Extends DNS-based threat intelligence across AWS environments, enabling consistent perimeter enforcement and reducing exposure to phishing, C2 and data exfiltration
November 19, 2025, in Santa Clara, California (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Infoblox, the company that makes the best DDI platform for connecting networking, security, and the cloud, has announced the availability of Infoblox AWS Marketplace managed rules for AWS Network Firewall. This new integration adds predictive, DNS-based threat intelligence to enterprises’ existing Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructures, making their cloud security even stronger.
Infoblox managed rules give you curated rule groups that are based on Infoblox’s DNS threat intelligence. These rules let AWS Network Firewall find and prevent connections to bad domains before they may hurt workloads, giving businesses protection at the edge of their networks.
Mukesh Gupta, chief product officer of Infoblox, stated, “Attackers are moving faster than ever, using automation and AI to get around traditional security defenses and put cloud workloads at risk.” “DNS is the best approach to protect yourself ahead of time. With Infoblox controlled rules, we provide businesses the capacity to block attacks an average of 68.4 days before other solutions even know they are there. The connection with AWS Network Firewall sends DNS-based threat intelligence to the edge, which helps businesses run workloads safely and in a cloud-native way. “It’s a game changer for businesses that want to stay ahead of threats without making things more complicated.”
Key Benefits
- Preemptive Protection at the Network Perimeter: Infoblox managed rules enable AWS Network Firewall to block malicious domains before they can connect to or impact workloads—providing simple, native-to-AWS protection. Customers using Infoblox threat feeds report a fivefold reduction in downstream alerts in their firewall systems.
- Predictive, DNS-Based Threat Intelligence: With over 70 billion DNS queries daily across enterprise and service provider networks worldwide, Infoblox’s DNS-focused threat intelligence powers curated rule groups with automated feed updates to help protect against the latest threats.
- Native AWS Integration: Customers can subscribe and activate Infoblox rule groups directly from the AWS Network Firewall console. Deployment is simple and native to AWS. There’s no additional infrastructure, manual rule writing or maintenance required, accelerating time to protection by more than 90 percent compared to manual setup.
- Simplified Operations: The integration automates rule updates and reduces configuration overhead, ensuring that security teams spend less time managing rules and more time focusing on strategic priorities. Infoblox’s automation saves organizations an average of 500 SOC analyst hours per month through automated rule and feed management.
- Actionable Visibility: Infoblox managed rules provide lightweight visibility through AWS-native alerts and logs, giving teams confirmation that threats are being blocked and policies are working as intended—without adding alert fatigue or monitoring complexity.
Quickly Closing Important Security Loopholes
More and more, hackers utilize DNS to send phishing emails, set up command-and-control (C2) channels, and steal data. Traditional perimeter defenses are generally reactive and don’t defend DNS well or at all. With Infoblox controlled rules, AWS Network Firewall gets the greatest DNS-based security that stops threats before they happen, so businesses can stay ahead of them instead of responding to them.
Customers can rapidly turn on the Limited Preview version and give feedback. It features a smaller collection of Infoblox threat intelligence signals that operate best with AWS Network Firewall. At GA, there will be a comprehensive set of Infoblox threat intelligence signals for AWS Network Firewall.
The IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024 says that the typical breach costs U.S. businesses more than $10 million. Infoblox and AWS work together to help customers prevent expensive breaches by lowering their risk and providing quick protection.
