Dr. Renée Burton, vice president of Infoblox threat intel, joins Dark Reading's Terry Sweeney at News Desk during RSA Conference to discuss enhancements to the company’s DNS-based approach to making networks safer. She shares results from recent research about the Muddling Meerkat scourge, and a breakthrough it led to for Infoblox’s own technology suite. Burton discusses how the vendor uses DNS-based threat intel to protect its customers, and how its new zero-day DNS capability works. Burton also takes a deeper cut at the idea that “actors begin with DNS,” and how Infoblox leverages that.
Dr. Renée Burton is the Head of Threat Intel at Infoblox, where she leads the company’s global team that specializes in the creation of original intelligence for Infoblox’s BloxOne® Threat Defense platform. She and her team are responsible for helping protect customers from malware and other attacks before they can enter the network, by preventing DNS resolution of both suspicious and malicious indicators. With a combination of data science, AI algorithms, and a deep understanding of both DNS and the threat intelligence landscape, the Infoblox Threat Intel team provides 24/7 support, ensuring optimal network protection.

A DNS expert, Dr. Burton joined Infoblox in 2018 after having spent 22 years at the National Security Agency (NSA). Dr. Burton holds a PhD in mathematics and was elevated to the US Government Senior Executive Service in 2005. During her tenure at NSA, she was involved in a wide range of programs as an individual contributor, strategist, and leader of data science and computer science research programs. Dr. Burton is an avid believer in DNS as both an important control point within a network and a source to hunt threats that escape the perimeter devices.
