Infoblox announced Infoblox IQ, an agentic operations layer built on the most authoritative network, security and asset data in the enterprise. Infoblox IQ continuously analyzes the DNS queries, DHCP leases, IP address assignments, device activity and security events flowing through the Infoblox platform. This help teams to identify issues faster, automate investigations and take action with confidence.
The launch introduces Infoblox IQ and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for its networking and security solutions. Infoblox IQ includes an AI assistant that lets teams use natural language to understand network and security conditions, investigate issues, get recommendations, and make configuration changes without switching between tools or manually searching data.
According to Infoblox, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server makes Infoblox network, security and asset intelligence available to third-party AI assistants, agents and applications through a standard interface. Rather than building and maintaining custom integrations, organizations can connect AI systems to Infoblox through an open protocol that simplifies third-party agent integration with the Infoblox platform.
The intelligence behind Infoblox IQ is built on more than 25 years of experience managing mission-critical DNS, DHCP and IP address management (DDI) environments for many of the world’s largest organizations. The platform incorporates operational knowledge developed through thousands of customer deployments, helping teams diagnose issues, prioritize actions and resolve problems more efficiently, says Infoblox.
In one customer deployment, Infoblox IQ reduced more than 504,000 operational events to just 24 prioritized actions through agentic triage. Investigations that previously required 45 to 90 minutes of manual analysis were surfaced immediately with the context required to act.
For security teams, Infoblox IQ helps reduce alert fatigue by automatically correlating threats, assets, users, devices and network activity into a clear investigation path. For network teams, it proactively identifies performance, configuration and capacity issues before they affect users and provides guided remediation recommendations.
Infoblox IQ Agentic AI capabilities
- Infoblox IQ for Threat Defense: Agentically investigates DNS security alerts, collecting evidence, analyzing activity and determining root cause before presenting SOC analysts with confirmed threats, affected users and devices, and recommended remediation actions. Thousands of alerts are distilled into prioritized findings that analysts can review, interrogate using natural language and act on in minutes rather than hours.
- Infoblox IQ for DDI: Proactively surfaces network configuration and operational issues across Infoblox Universal DDI and Infoblox NIOS, automatically collects and analyses relevant data, provides the root cause analysis within seconds and provides guided remediation actions with a full audit trail—90 percent of the work a network operator would have done after a ticket was opened.
“Infoblox IQ started with a simple belief: that the data Infoblox already holds, provides one of the clearest views of what’s happening on an enterprise network,” said Mukesh Gupta, Chief Product Officer, Infoblox. “As organizations move from AI pilots to real-world agentic operations, the infrastructure data those systems rely on must be trusted and up to date. The pace of change across DNS, DHCP and IPAM now exceeds what teams can manage manually, and generic AI tools lack the operational visibility needed for reliable autonomous action. Infoblox provides that visibility, and Infoblox IQ turns it into agentic operations teams can trust.”
“For decades, DDI has served as the foundation of enterprise networks. As AI becomes the next operating layer for the enterprise, that foundation is becoming even more critical,” said Scott Harrell, President and CEO, Infoblox. “Infoblox IQ transforms infrastructure data from a system of record into a system of action, enabling organizations to move faster, respond more effectively and unlock the full potential of AI-driven operations. The companies that succeed with AI will be those that can ground automation in trusted data, and that is precisely where Infoblox is positioned to lead.”
Availability
Infoblox IQ for Threat Defense will be generally available by the end of the month. Infoblox IQ for DDI, Infoblox IQ assistant and Infoblox MCP Server integration are all available to early access customers and will be generally available in fall 2026.
