CASE STUDY said Chris Burch , the Chief Information Security Officer at EagleView .
Beyond gaining visibility into DNS security , EagleView has , by engaging with Infoblox , improved security automation and threat intelligence , helping the IT team better understand and mitigate a spectrum of potential risks . One result is that remote workers now benefit from enhanced security that proactively protects them and EagleView .
The solution – Rapid security rollout for remote workers
EagleView needed a security solution that could be deployed rapidly to help secure both the company and its employees . With most staff working remotely , the solution had to roll out nimbly and scale to cover users wherever they were located .
Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense Advanced was the ideal solution for EagleView because the IT team was able to deploy it quickly to supply users with an unprecedented level of protection .
The cloud-managed service readily onboards users and gives administrators an optimal approach to manage users . EagleView simply forwards recursive Internet DNS queries to the BloxOne Threat Defense solution , which enables an agile and flexible deployment model .
“ The shift to a majority remote workforce created a security gap in our on-premises infrastructure that Infoblox resolved through the cloud , simplifying deployment on my team ,” said Burch .

It powers Security Orchestration , Automation and Response ( SOAR ) solutions , slashes the time to investigate and remediate cyberthreats , optimizes the performance of the entire security ecosystem and reduces the total cost of enterprise threat defense .
Customer : EagleView Industry : Aerial imagery , data analytics Location : Bellevue , WA Initiatives :
• Improve security for both remote and internal users
• Increase visibility into network operations
• Prevent users from accessing malicious websites
Outcomes :
• Removed DNS security blind spot
• Mitigated threats , including ransomware , malware , botnet communications and unintended data exfiltration
• Enhanced security for all users Solutions :
• BloxOne Threat Defense Advanced
The solution turns core network services into valuable security assets . These services , which include DNS , DHCP and IP address management ( DDI ), play a central role in all IP-based communications . With Infoblox , they become the foundational common denominator that enables the entire security stack to work in unison and at Internet scale to detect and anticipate threats sooner and stop them faster .
The results – DNS security for remote users
Prior to implementing Infoblox , workers ’ use of a virtual private network ( VPN ) to help secure traffic back into EagleView ’ s network exposed a security gap . Although the DNS lookup was going to the corporate DNS servers over VPN , some traffic went over the home connection because VPN allowed split tunneling .
