Bridging Gap Between Network Security & User Identity

Infoblox introduces first enterprise-grade DDI solution with Identity Mapping

Infoblox has unveiled the Infoblox Identity Mapping, which bridges the gap between network security and user identity by intelligently correlating two previously separate sets of data, making it easier for network administrators to locate the source of security events, track mobile devices, monitor network usage and more.

With Infoblox Identity Mapping, which is available now as a feature of Infoblox NIOS 7.2 software, IP address tracked by Infoblox can be linked to user authentication events in Microsoft Active Directory logs – the first time an enterprise-grade DDI solution has been able to make this connection. Infoblox. Beyond Microsoft Active Directory, Infoblox has created Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that allow customers to connect their DDI platforms to other third-party data sources to further enrich that value of their IPAM data.

Jonathan Gohstand, VP of product management at Infoblox said, “Network administrators, security teams and other IT groups will be able to work together more effectively by harnessing the expanded insight created when IP address information is linked to end-user identities.”
