Infoblox Universal DDI™ Management: Simplify Management of Microsoft DNS and DHCP, Without Disruption
Coming Soon
When it comes to the DNS and DHCP services that keep networks running, many companies use Windows Server, which bundles those mission-critical services with Microsoft Active Directory. However, this aging deployment model was never intended for hybrid, multi-cloud environments. Now, customers can transform how they manage Microsoft DNS and DHCP, even while keeping the same underlying infrastructure. With the latest enhancements to the Infoblox Universal DDI™ Product Suite, Universal DDI can now manage Microsoft DNS and DHCP configurations on Windows Servers. Network teams can then modernize the Windows Server infrastructure at their own pace, moving towards a more agile, resilient and scalable Universal DDI architecture for DNS/DHCP services over time, while gaining new visibility into assets and utilization across on-premises environments. Meanwhile, with the ability to instantly attribute network devices to specific users, troubleshooting gets faster, manual lookups are minimized and compliance reporting becomes much simpler.
Infoblox Universal DDI Management: External DNS Integration with Cloudflare and Akamai
Coming Soon
At launch, Universal DDI Management gave customers the ability to manage DNS records across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and Infoblox from a single dashboard. Now, with the latest Universal DDI enhancements, this unified DNS management plane also extends to two of the leading external DNS providers: Cloudflare and Akamai. With these enhancements, customers can now use Universal DDI Management to control critical network services across their entire hybrid, multi-cloud estate, including external website DNS services, through a single API and the Infoblox Portal. The results: stronger resiliency, greater visibility, and faster, simpler operations for all DNS services across the business
Infoblox Universal DDI Management: New Network Perspective and Address Space Perspective
Coming Soon
Universal IP Address Management will introduce two powerful views to simplify and enhance IP address management (IPAM) across hybrid and multi-cloud environments:
- Network Perspective will provide a unified, hierarchical view of IP addresses across the entire network, helping to avoid overlapping IP addresses.
- Address Space Perspective will organize IP addresses by address spaces, streamlining management across both on-premises and cloud deployments.
The new IPAM views will improve user experience and visibility across hybrid, multi-cloud environments.
Infoblox Universal DDI Management: Integration with Google Internal Range
Coming Soon
As businesses scale more of their mission-critical applications and IT resources in Google Cloud, managing the IP address space consistently and efficiently becomes a business priority. Now, Universal DDI can help advance this objective through direct integration with Google Internal Range. With the ability to manage Google Cloud IP addresses directly from the Infoblox Portal, NetOps teams can apply the same consistent IP policies across Google Cloud, on-premises and other cloud environments. They can manage enterprise-wide IP addresses and policy from one central system to prevent outage-causing overlaps, routing issues and wasted resources. Meanwhile, CloudOps teams can deploy new Google Cloud environments and applications more quickly and with less risk.
Infoblox Universal Asset Insights: CMDB Reconciliation
Coming Soon
This capability will analyze your ServiceNow CMDB data and compare it against Infoblox’s comprehensive asset inventory, helping customers see where CMDB records align with what’s on the network and where data gaps exist. Assets will be classified as either present in ServiceNow and verified on the network, assets that exist only in ServiceNow or assets missing from ServiceNow despite being active on the network. These insights make it easier to identify consistency and highlight areas that may need attention. When available, a summary monitor will show counts at a glance, with detailed reports highlighting individual assets that need updates. Reports can be exported or scheduled to run automatically, providing ongoing visibility into CMDB data health. By surfacing these insights, Asset Insights enables you to enrich your CMDB and keep records accurate.
NIOS DDI: Infoblox DNS Infrastructure Protection
Coming Soon
Many customers use NIOS DDI, not just for internal DNS but for the external authoritative DNS services that keep their websites, email and other internet-connected applications online. However, for a business’ public-facing apps to be reachable by users, external DNS servers must be exposed to the internet, where they’ll face DNS DDoS attacks, attempted hijacks, cache poisoning and other DNS exploits—cyberthreats that can knock web apps offline for days. Now, customers that self-host their external DNS servers can use Infoblox DNS Infrastructure Protection (formerly Advanced DNS Protection or ADP) to safeguard exposed DNS infrastructure. Infoblox DNS Infrastructure Protection offers advanced protection against volumetric and non-volumetric attacks and other DNS threats, while ensuring that DNS servers will continue processing legitimate queries, even when under attack.

SECURITY
Infoblox Threat Defense™: Detect Mode
Now Available
Threat Defense (TD) Detect Mode makes it easy to demonstrate the product’s value without needing to redirect external queries to the cloud, enable logging or deploy additional virtual machines, helping IT and network teams avoid common technical hurdles. This allows security teams to learn the value of Protective DNS practices with Threat Defense without infrastructure changes or resolution delays. Detect Mode is available on all supported Infoblox NIOS versions and works by forwarding an out-of-band message containing DNS response fields (not queries) to Threat Defense in the cloud for full threat detection capability. Any detected threats and context can also immediately and automatically be shared with Security teams for investigation and response by sending selected alerts to SOC tools, such as SIEM/SOAR, or any other ecosystem integration.
To activate Threat Defense (TD) Detect Mode, contact your Infoblox Account Manager.
Infoblox Threat Defense: TIDE Bulk API
Now Available
TIDE supports asynchronous API (bulk API) designed for exporting large datasets. This API initiates a background job and returns a file location when the export is complete. It is ideal for scheduled jobs, large data pulls or integrations that require full dataset snapshots. These APIs can support responses up to a maximum of 20 million records. For more information, see the Best Practice Guide.
In addition to the Bulk API, TIDE also offers a synchronous API for retrieving partial datasets using query parameters and filters. These REST APIs are not intended for bulk exports and support responses of up to a maximum of 10,000 records. Beginning in January 2026, a maximum response limit of 10,000 records will be enforced on the synchronous API. For large data exports, you should always use the Bulk API.
Infoblox Threat Defense: Bypass Codes Usage in Security Activity Report
Now Available
The new Bypass Codes Usage feature in the Security Activity Report makes it easy to track when and how bypass codes are used to access restricted content. Each time a user applies a bypass code, the report logs key details, such as the domain accessed and the specific code used.
This feature strengthens security in several ways: improves accountability by showing who accessed restricted content, supports compliance and audits with detailed event logs, helps detect potential misuse or unauthorized access quickly and reinforces policy enforcement by documenting any exceptions to standard controls.
Together, these capabilities deliver greater visibility, stronger governance and a more secure environment.
Infoblox Threat Defense: Endpoint 2.6.0 for Windows, macOS and Linux
Coming Soon
Infoblox Endpoint now supports customer-defined internal resolvers, allowing organizations to specify trusted internal DNS servers—whether on the local network or accessible via VPN or Zero Trust solutions. This ensures reliable internal domain resolution even in restricted environments.
Additionally, the new customer-defined fallback resolvers feature allows customers to define trusted recursive DNS resolvers for use when Infoblox Cloud is unreachable. Combined with offline security, this maintains protection and connectivity without cloud dependency. Both features support fail-open and fail-closed modes, giving customers flexibility to balance security and availability.
MacOS 26 “Tahoe” Support
Infoblox Endpoint for macOS is now certified for macOS 26 “Tahoe,” ensuring full compatibility and a seamless upgrade experience for users adopting the latest operating system.
Enhanced Versioning and Stability
Starting with 2.6.0, Infoblox Endpoint includes a build number in its versioning for greater transparency and precision in tracking fixes and enhancements. This release also delivers important bug fixes and performance improvements, enhancing stability and streamlining user experience across key workflows.

ECOSYSTEM
Ecosystem: HA/DR for CDC to Support Cloud Ecosystem Sources
Now Available
The Infoblox Cloud Data Connector (CDC) can now be configured in high-availability (HA) pairs, allowing a secondary connector to automatically take over if the primary experiences an issue. When an HA failover occurs, cloud sources seamlessly switch their data flows to the new primary, ensuring uninterrupted data transmission. This enhancement provides a more reliable data path, allowing Security Operations teams to rely on timely security alerts reaching the SOC so they can react quickly to threats and improve MTTD and MTTR. With automated failover handling, customers no longer need to manually intervene in cloud data flow issues and can focus on deriving value from a continuously reliable data pipeline.
Ecosystem: Send Test Event for Automations
Now Available
Validating Infoblox Ecosystem integrations that rely on automation scripts can be difficult, often requiring users to wait for the right event to occur. With this new capability, customers can now send test events to verify not only connectivity but also the response from the receiving system. This enhancement greatly simplifies troubleshooting and validation. Additionally, because the test can be triggered via API, connectivity checks can be fully automated, even when event frequency is low.
Ecosystem: Test Connectivity for Automations
Coming Soon
Previously, Ecosystem integration flows that displayed connection health status did not include Ecosystem automations, which use a script to process data before sending. Now, Infoblox provides bi-directional connectivity status for both automation and non-automation flows. This closes a key visibility gap, giving users clear confirmation that their integrations are properly configured and connected. Infoblox is updating all supported automation scripts to take advantage of this feature, and customer-built scripts can be easily updated using the provided documentation.
Ecosystem: Google SecOps SIEM
Coming Soon
Infoblox has worked with Google Security Operations SIEM (SecOps) to fully update event parsing. Our partnership has produced a supported deployment guide for syslog integration with Google SecOps SIEM using the Infoblox Cloud Data Connector (CDC). This integration will enable sending Infoblox IPAM asset data, threat data and insights to the SIEM for enrichment, assessment and response. Once available, customers will be able to access the deployment guide with clear integration steps and assurance of integration support from the Ecosystem portal.
Ecosystem: Splunk SOAR and Palo Alto XSOAR Playbooks
Coming Soon
Infoblox Threat Defense has partnered with the Splunk SOAR and Palo Alto XSOAR teams to develop supported integrations that will deliver a unified, automated approach to modern security operations. By combining deep network visibility with powerful analytics and orchestration, organizations can detect threats earlier, orchestrate event enrichment and prioritization, and respond in a faster and more automated way to reduce operational overhead and delay. These joint solutions will enable security teams to stay ahead of evolving threats while maximizing the value of their existing investments. The integrations will leverage Infoblox Cloud APIs to share Threat Defense, DNS, DHCP, SOC Insights and security event logs with Splunk SOAR and Palo Alto XSOAR and will come with a set of playbooks to immediately leverage Infoblox to enhance visibility, streamline triage and case management, and improve threat containment and prioritization.
