Infoblox Completes Kentik Acquisition to Add Real-Time Network Intelligence

Infoblox completed its acquisition of Kentik, adding Kentik’s real-time network intelligence and observability to Infoblox’s networking and security capabilities. The companies described the close of the deal as part of a platform strategy that combines infrastructure context with operational intelligence.

With the acquisition completed, Infoblox said it added Kentik capabilities to its foundation of critical network services, asset visibility, and preemptive security. Infoblox also said the added intelligence draws on network flow, routing, path, and performance data to provide context for traffic movement and service performance across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Infoblox described the integration as bringing live operational intelligence into its trusted data foundation, and said the combined capabilities were intended to support AI-driven networking and security operations. The company also stated that integrating authoritative infrastructure context with real-time operational intelligence would help strengthen trusted data for AgenticOps and broader AI-driven operations.

Infoblox said it planned to integrate Kentik’s capabilities into its platform over time and would share additional product innovations and integration milestones as they became available. “AI is transforming how organizations operate enterprise infrastructure, but its value depends on the quality of the data that informs every decision,” said Scott Harrell, president and CEO of Infoblox. “For more than two decades, Infoblox has been the authoritative source of truth for the critical network services that organizations depend on every day. Kentik adds powerful operational intelligence that enriches that data. Together, we’re advancing the Infoblox vision for an AI-driven platform that brings networking, security and visibility together to help customers simplify operations, improve cyber resilience and build the trusted data foundation required for the next generation of AI-driven operations.” “Kentik was founded on the belief that understanding what your infrastructure is doing is the foundation for running it well,” said Avi Freedman, co-founder and CEO of Kentik. “As AI becomes a primary operator of enterprise infrastructure, it will need both authoritative knowledge of what exists and real-time understanding of what is happening. By bringing together Infoblox’s trusted infrastructure context with Kentik’s operational intelligence, we’re building the foundation for enterprises to operate faster, more securely and with greater confidence—and to safely govern how AI makes decisions across modern infrastructure.”
