Infoblox Inc. today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Axur Holding Limited.
For years, the industry has focused on rapid response, waiting for an attack to hit the network. We are changing that timeline: the focus shifts to preemptive action.
By combining Infoblox’s unrivaled visibility into network infrastructure with Axur’s proprietary AI-driven platform for Cyber Threat Intelligence, External Attack Surface Management and Digital Risk Protection, we are closing the gap between the internal network and the external threat landscape in order to detect malicious activity at its origin.Axur brings a powerful layer of proprietary intelligence and automation that scours the surface, deep, and dark web to uncover early warning signals of emerging campaigns before they materialize. Infoblox controls the foundational layer of network connectivity.
“Axur was built on the belief that the best security is the kind you never notice, because it prevents threats from becoming problems,” said Fabio Ramos, Axur’s CEO. “Infoblox shares that exact vision. Together, we can scale it globally and push the industry forward in ways neither company could do alone.”
By bringing Axur into Infoblox, the companies aim to accelerate product development, expand global reach, and deliver solutions that empower security teams and MSSPs to move from reactive defense to proactive prediction. The deal is also rooted in a strong cultural match: product-first, deeply technical teams that care about solving real problems, not just ticking compliance boxes.
“Many modern attacks now start outside the traditional network, on fake websites, social platforms, app stores and search ads,” said Scott Harrell, President and CEO, Infoblox. “That’s why security teams are moving beyond their perimeter, focusing on seeing what’s exposed and reducing risk before a breach. Axur extends our preemptive security offering by giving customers a unified way to uncover external exposures, protect users sooner, and rapidly disrupt malicious infrastructure before it can be weaponized.”
What this means for Customers and Partners
While the technology is complex, the benefit is simple: Speed and Scale.
More firepower for innovation: With Axur’s intelligence and Infoblox’s infrastructure security strengths, we’ll be moving even faster, shipping smarter capabilities and building a more powerful preemptive security platform.
Greater global scale: Infoblox’s footprint plus Axur’s reach means more visibility, more data, and more impact for customers and partners worldwide.
A bigger playground for solving hard problems: Combining both teams’ technical skill sets accelerates our ability to push the boundaries of threat prediction and automated defense.
What doesn’t change
Our commitment to customers and partners: Same support, same focus, same urgency. Just with more capabilities behind it.
Our dedication to building category-defining technology: The Axur and Infoblox product DNA stays intact: cutting-edge, data-driven, and built for the real world.
Our culture and values: The two companies share an obsession with shipping great products, staying close to customer needs, and investing in teams that think long-term.Completion of the transaction remains subject to required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
