Infoblox entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Axur, a provider of AI-powered security solutions that detect and disrupt threats outside the traditional perimeter; the move targeted earlier visibility and faster disruption of external digital threats such as brand abuse, fraud and credential exposure.
The companies described plans to expand Infoblox’s preemptive security strategy to address brand abuse, fraud, data and credential theft and the growing risk posed by external digital threats, noting that threat actors increasingly used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to scale phishing, impersonation and fraud campaigns.
Axur used AI to automate external threat discovery, validation, takedown and ongoing monitoring, including notifying new phishing detections for takedown in under four minutes and achieving nearly 99 percent takedown success rates. Infoblox’s capabilities allowed blocking at the Domain Name System (DNS) layer while takedowns proceeded, and network-level asset and IP attribution supported ownership identification and remediation.
The companies described plans for combined technologies to detect external threats earlier, disrupt malicious infrastructure faster through automation and protect brands, executives, customers and users with reduced operational effort; they also noted continued independent operation until closing and named legal and financial counsel for the transaction.
“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 the ability to see and stop these threats earlier with rapid, AI-powered detection and takedowns that disrupt malicious infrastructure before it can be weaponized.” “Axur was built to help organizations keep pace with attackers through automation, transparency and measurable outcomes,” said Fabio Ramos, CEO, Axur.
The acquisition was subject to regulatory approvals and closing conditions and was expected to close in Spring 2026, with both companies continuing to operate independently until completion.
