Overview
Infoblox
Infoblox provides a centralized platform to manage your critical network services—DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (collectively known as DDI). By moving these services to a unified cloud-managed interface, you eliminate the manual effort of tracking IP addresses in spreadsheets and reduce the risk of network downtime. You can gain full visibility into every device connecting to your network, whether they are in your main office, a remote branch, or a cloud environment.
Beyond connectivity, you can use the platform to turn your DNS into a security asset. It automatically blocks connections to known malicious domains and detects data exfiltration attempts that traditional firewalls often miss. This proactive approach helps you stop threats earlier in the kill chain. The software is designed for mid-to-large organizations that need to maintain high availability and consistent security policies across complex, distributed global infrastructures.
Perimeter 81
Perimeter 81 simplifies how you secure your modern, distributed workforce by replacing traditional hardware-based VPNs with a cloud-native Zero Trust solution. You can build a secure corporate network in minutes, connecting your remote employees to on-premises resources and cloud environments like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud without the need for complex manual configuration.
The platform gives you a single dashboard to manage global gateways, enforce multi-factor authentication, and monitor network activity in real-time. By segmenting your network and applying least-privilege access policies, you reduce your attack surface and ensure that your team stays productive and secure regardless of their physical location or the device they use.
