Infoblox Launches Infoblox IQ

On June 3, 2026, at an event in Santa Clara, California, Infoblox announced the launch of Infoblox IQ, an innovative security operations platform designed to enhance the management of enterprise network security through agent-based AI technology. This platform is set to transform how organizations monitor and respond to network traffic, security events, and operational anomalies.

The Advantages of Infoblox IQ

Infoblox IQ operates by continuously monitoring the network, analyzing DNS queries, IP address allocations, device behaviors, and security incidents. This proactive analysis enables teams to detect issues more swiftly, automate investigations, and respond quickly to any identified problems. The platform integrates agent-based AI assistants and actions, allowing users to interact through a natural language interface, making the navigation of network conditions seamless and intuitive.

One of the highlights of Infoblox IQ is its integration with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, facilitating connections with third-party AI tools and applications. As a result, organizations can easily integrate their existing AI systems without the need for manual setups or maintenance, ensuring a smooth connection between various agents and the Infoblox platform.

Significant Impact on Incident Management

The intelligence aspect of Infoblox IQ is drawn from over 25 years of experience managing DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI) environments for some of the world's largest enterprises. Through numerous case studies, Infoblox has honed operational knowledge that supports teams in effectively diagnosing issues and prioritizing responses. For example, the platform's agent-based triage capabilities have successfully reduced over 504,000 operational events into just 24 prioritized actions, revolutionizing the speed and efficiency of incident management. What used to take between 45 to 90 minutes for manual analysis can now be presented in real time with all necessary context.

Key Features of Infoblox IQ

1. Threat Defense: It automates the investigation of DNS security alerts, including evidence collection, activity analysis, and root cause identification. Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts receive prioritized insights within minutes, allowing them to verify and respond to threats far more rapidly than before.
2. DDI Support: The platform visualizes potential network configuration and operational issues across Infoblox's Universal DDI™ and NIOS, automatically collecting and analyzing relevant data to provide root cause analysis in seconds along with guided remediation actions.
3. MCP Integration: Allows for open protocol connections between external AI tools or workflows and Infoblox's network and security intelligence, effectively serving as a foundation for enterprise AI agents.

Empowering Organizations Towards Autonomous Operations

Infoblox IQ is more than just an automation tool; it represents a crucial data infrastructure that enables organizations to drive agent-based and autonomous IT operations. Effective AI systems require accurate and continuously updated infrastructure data to understand the complex relationships among users, devices, applications, IP addresses, and network services.

Infoblox, being a trusted source for DDI and network asset intelligence, empowers Infoblox IQ to provide reliable context for AI models and operational agents, enhancing decision-making accuracy, eliminating faulty assumptions, and establishing dependable automation.

Insights from Leadership

Mukesh Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Infoblox, noted, “Infoblox IQ was developed from our strong belief that the data we already possess can provide the clearest view of dynamics occurring within enterprise networks. As organizations transition from pilot phases to true agent-based operations, the infrastructure data upon which these systems depend must be reliable and always up-to-date.”

President & CEO Scott Harrell added, “For decades, DDI has served as the foundation of enterprise networks. As AI begins to take over as the next operating layer for enterprises, this foundation becomes even more crucial. Infoblox IQ transforms infrastructure data from a passive record-keeping system into a proactive action-oriented system, enabling organizations to respond swiftly and effectively while maximizing the potential of AI-driven operations.”

Launch Timeline

• - Infoblox IQ for Threat Defense: General availability expected by the end of June 2026.
• - Infoblox IQ for DDI, Assistant, MCP server integration: Currently available for early access users, with general availability anticipated in Fall 2026.
