The integration of Infoblox NIOS for Splunk SOAR delivers a unified, automated, and intelligence-driven approach to modern security operations. This integration enables Splunk to retrieve IP metadata from Infoblox Grid Manager and manage DNS Firewall protections through RPZs. It allows security teams to define RPZ rules that block DNS resolution for malicious or unauthorized domains or redirect users to a walled garden by modifying DNS responses.
