Cherif Sleiman, General Manager, Middle East and Africa, Infoblox, is hoping that the company’s presence at this year’s event will create awareness regarding the critical trends that are hitting customers head on in cyber warfare and cloud computing.

He said, “We are launching two major innovations this week at GITEX 2016. The first is our DNS Firewall-as-a-Service solution, which provides DNS protection to roaming devices in the cloud. The second is the Actionable Network Intelligence platform, which provides intelligence through actionable control points.”

Sleiman continued, “Over the last two years, DNS has come under a lot of pressure; hackers now use DNS as the number one threat vector to penetrate companies. The impact of exploitation is catastrophic for organisations, which is why we have introduced these innovations to protect it. Our DNS Firewall platform means that companies don’t necessarily need to buy security and deploy it on-premise, because this new solution means you can just point to the Infoblox cloud and we will secure DNS for you.”

With regards to the Actionable Network Intelligence platform, Sleiman commented on how it is vitally important for a company to have complete visibility across the network, to understand who should and shouldn’t have access.

“The AIN platform allows organisations to unlock insights and make more meaningful decisions through this holistic visibility offering,” he said. “It also reduces the scale of risk to a company by identifying malicious activity at network control points.”

Exhibiting for the fourth year at the event, Sleiman reflected on the transformation of GITEX over the years.

“We use GITEX to conduct and conclude business. The event has evolved from being more of an entertainment exhibition to now being a well-regarded platform to showcase the latest and greatest innovations.”
