“Bring Your Own License” or BYOL, provides greater flexibility in the use of cyber threat intelligence when integrated with Infoblox’s threat feeds. Using the Key Store Service for BYOL, BloxOne Infoblox Threat Defense is able to support threat feeds from vendors preferring a more direct subscription relationship. Currently, BYOL licensing service supports VirusTotal data feeds for Dossier when researching an indicator, but eventually this capability will be extended to support the enrichment of a broader range of vendors and threat feeds.

Infoblox Key Store Service is an integral part in providing BYOL service. Using the Key Store Service in conjunction with BYOL allows you to store your API licenses from third-party vendors like VirusTotal in your organization’s account. Many of the VirusTotal API features are currently restricted to premium subscribers only. Using the Key Store Service allows Infoblox to use your valid license credentials to make API calls on behalf of your organization to third-party vendors, resulting in the fully automated integration with BloxOne with Infoblox Threat Defense.

| NOTE: Currently, the BYOL Key Store service only functions when storing API license keys for VirusTotal, Mandiant, and Emerging Trends Proofpoint (ETPro). Support for other third-party vendors and license types will be added in the future. |

Each organization is responsible for obtaining their own API keys from the third-party data sources for which they are subscribed. For example, if your organization subscribes to VirusTotal, then you will need to contact VirusTotal with your request for an API key. In VirusTotal’s case, visiting their API documentation page at the VirusTotal API Version 3 Overview page will provide you with information on the various API licensing packages available to your organization along with information on their acceptable usage. Likewise, other third-party data vendors will need to be contacted with the request for API licenses allowing you to access their data through the Cloud Services the Infoblox Portal.
