Infoblox has published its Quarterly Cyberthreat Intelligence Report for Q2 2021 stating that ‘This year has turned out to be one of the worst years for ransomware’. From April 1, 2021, through June 30, 2021, the company’s publicly published threat intelligence is included in the report.

Infoblox 3.0 harnesses the industry’s leading DDI and DNS security solutions to enable on-premises, virtual, cloud and hybrid deployments tailored to customers’ network modernization needs.

Weak passwords represent a cybersecurity threat for organizations already struggling with security compliance during remote work and the blurring of personal and professional spaces. In fact, more than 80% of data breaches involved brute force or stolen credentials.

Among the DNS activity findings: users in 70 percent of organizations got malicious browser ads. Furthermore, 51 percent of organizations encountered ransomware-related activity. Another 48 percent found information-stealing malware activity.

Cloud-managed DDI offers a bridge that allows organizations to integrate core network services, bringing DNS, DHCP and IPAM together on a unified platform. By replacing siloed on-prem DNS and DHCP controllers with cloud-native technology, organizations can take a huge step toward digital transformation through integrated DDI services they can centrally manage in the cloud across all locations.
