Introducing Digital Risk Protection Services (DRPS)

ThomasWilimitis

Security teams are used to stopping threats inside the network, but many of today’s attacks start well before that. 

Phishing, brand impersonation, fraud and credential abuse are increasingly launched outside the enterprise across domains, websites, social platforms, ads and mobile apps—often before traditional controls ever see them. 

To address this, Infoblox has acquired Axur and introduces Digital Risk Protection Services (DRPS), part of Infoblox Exposure Management. 

What DRPS Adds

DRPS extends Infoblox’s preemptive security approach beyond the network by focusing on external threats earlier in the attack lifecycle. 

With Axur-powered DRPS, teams can: 

• Discover external threats early across web, social, apps, ads and underground sources  
• Validate real risk with AI-driven analysis (less noise, fewer false positives)  
• Automate takedowns of phishing sites, impersonation and fraudulent assets  
• Protect users immediately with DNS enforcement while takedowns are in progress 
• Keep threats down with continuous monitoring 

Why It Matters

Most tools still focus on detection and response after threats reach users. 

DRPS is designed to help teams act earlier by: 

• Reducing phishing and fraud before users engage  
• Limiting credential exposure and brand abuse  
• Cutting down manual investigation and escalation work  
• Shifting from alert volume to measurable risk reduction

How It Works with Infoblox

DRPS complements Infoblox Threat Defense™ by combining the external threat discovery and disruption capabilities of Axur with Infoblox’s expertise in DNS-based blocking and enforcement. This powerful combination ultimately means that protection starts immediately, not hours later when takedowns are complete.
