Illusive Networks integrates with Infoblox’s DDI

Cyber defence solutions vendor Illusive Networks, has announced an out-of-the-box integration with Infoblox DDI.

The integration allows for the automated mapping of deceptive hostnames so that DNS deceptions are simple to deploy, with no need for additional and monotonous manual or scripted mapping.

The combined solution also reduces the need for security operations centre (SOC) teams to rely on external IT networking staff to keep hostname deceptions updated and authentic, greatly reducing deployment and management overhead.

Ofer Israeli, CEO and founder, Illusive Networks, said: “Authenticity is at the root of Illusive Networks’ distributed deception approach and this unique integration with Infoblox ensures that hostname and Active Directory deceptions are indistinguishable from the genuine article.”

Israeli said with the power of Illusive Networks and Infoblox working in tandem, defenders can more efficiently force attackers to reveal themselves by engaging highly authentic deceptions.

To be successful, distributed deceptions must appear realistic down to the tiniest details, so that sophisticated attackers will be duped into engaging with them and quickly notify defenders of their unauthorised network presence.

Dave Barry, senior director of business development, Infoblox, said:”Infoblox is committed to bringing IP address management to the next level. As more of our customers adopt Illusive Networks’ next-gen deception technology to identify and stop today’s most advanced cyberthreats, this integration allows them to further reduce operational overhead and add an additional security layer to their cloud-managed network services.”
