Actionable Insights

Malicious Indicators Seen

The percentage of network traffic flagged as malicious based on Infoblox threat intelligence feeds.

Infoblox Base Feed - Infoblox Base-IP Feed (Includes Base, AntiMalware, Malware-DGA, Ransomware, and AntiMalware-IP feeds)

  • High Confirmed Threats: Indicates the network is frequently targeted or employees need security training. - Low Confirmed Threats: Suggests strong security posture with minimal external threats.

Risky Indicators Seen

The percentage of suspicious but unverified threats detected in network traffic.

Indicators are given a High, Medium, or Low-risk ratingbased on their risk potential.

Infoblox High Risk Feed - Infoblox Medium Risk Feed - Infoblox Low Risk Feed

  • High-rated Unconfirmed Threats: Indicates potential risks or targeted activity. -

  • Medium-rated Unconfirmed Threats: Indicates a potential risk less than that of a high risk theat but greater than a low risk threat.

  • Low-rated Unconfirmed Threats: Suggests strong security measures and reliable vendor ecosystem.

Threat Actor-Associated Traffic

The percentage of network traffic associated with known threat actors.

N/A

  • High Threat Actor Traffic: Indicates direct targeting by known adversaries. -

  • Low Threat Actor Traffic: Suggests minimal external targeting.

Zero-Day DNS Traffic Seen

The percentage of traffic involving newly registered, suspicious, or emerging domains (Zero-Day DNS domains).

N/A

  • High Zero-Day Traffic: Users are prone to accessing newly registered domains.

  • Low Zero-Day Traffic: Suggests good security hygiene and cautious browsing habits.

Threat Insight Detection

The percentage of DNS traffic flagged by Threat Insight for potential Data Exfiltration (DNST) and Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) activity.

N/A

  • High Threat Insight Traffic: Indicates potential DNS tunneling or exfiltration risks. -

  • Low Threat Insight Traffic: Suggests secure and well-monitored DNS traffic.
