Infoblox has introduced Infoblox IQ, an agentic operations layer designed to enhance network and security investigations within hybrid enterprise environments. This platform continuously analyzes DNS queries, DHCP leases, IP address assignments, and security events, enabling faster issue identification and automated investigations.
The new Infoblox IQ features an AI assistant and AI actions, allowing users to interact via natural language to understand network conditions, receive recommendations, and execute changes. A key component is the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which makes Infoblox's intelligence accessible to third-party AI systems through an open protocol, simplifying integrations.
Infoblox IQ aims to reduce alert fatigue for security teams by correlating threats and assets, and proactively identify performance issues for network teams. It provides a crucial data foundation for organizations moving towards agentic and autonomous IT operations, ensuring AI systems have access to accurate and up-to-date infrastructure data.
Infoblox IQ for Threat Defense is expected to be generally available by the end of the current month. Infoblox IQ for DDI, the assistant, and MCP server integration are available to early access customers and will be generally available in fall 2026.
