Infoblox, a cloud networking and security services provider, has announced a new collaboration with Google Cloud. This partnership aims to simplify enterprise networking and enterprise security while accelerating cloud transformation for businesses worldwide.
Together, Infoblox and Google Cloud are launching two integrated solutions that address challenges in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
The first, Infoblox Universal DDI for Google’s Cloud WAN, combines Infoblox’s DNS and DHCP capabilities with Google Cloud’s Cross-Cloud Network. This powerful integration supports infrastructure modernization while enhancing global performance and scalability. It also helps organizations reduce deployment complexity and operational costs.
The second solution, Google Cloud DNS Armor powered by Infoblox, is a next-generation Protective DNS service. It proactively detects malicious activity targeting cloud workloads. By leveraging Infoblox’s DNS threat intelligence, it delivers high-impact enterprise security with minimal operational burden. Users can activate the service directly in the Google Cloud console and monitor threats in real time.
Scott Harrell, president and CEO of Infoblox, stated that the partnership demonstrates a shared commitment to innovation. He emphasized the growing importance of Protective DNS and DDI services in supporting enterprise security within hybrid, multi-cloud infrastructures.
Muninder Singh Sambi, VP/GM of Networking at Google Cloud, added that the collaboration bridges networking and security. He noted that Infoblox’s experience in DDI and threat detection makes them a strategic partner for delivering robust enterprise security solutions in the cloud.
Today’s businesses face rising pressure to stay agile while strengthening enterprise security across distributed environments. These new solutions directly respond to that demand by providing scalable, cloud-native tools that simplify operations.
Infoblox Universal DDI for Google’s Cloud WAN is available through the Google Cloud Marketplace. It enables rapid deployment of NIOS-X as a Service and offers global, infrastructure-free DNS and DHCP. The solution also supports unified policy enforcement across all hybrid cloud environments when paired with Infoblox’s security offerings.
Google Cloud DNS Armor provides early detection of ransomware, Zero Day threats, and data exfiltration attempts. It gives IT teams full visibility into DNS activity and ensures faster, more proactive threat response.
Bob Walker of Lloyds Banking Group described DNS Armor as a game-changer for enterprise security, while Chris Kissel of IDC praised its ability to reduce complexity without sacrificing protection.
With this partnership, Infoblox and Google Cloud are delivering integrated solutions that help organizations build stronger foundations for enterprise security in a cloud-first world.
