AISA Webinar | Cloud Branch | 15 July 2026

Hosted by the AISA Cloud Branch, please join us for a webinar "Pre-Emptive Cyber Security: Blocking Threats At The First Question" with guest speaker Brad Ford from Infoblox. This session shows how Infoblox Protective DNS intercepts threats at the very moment a user attempts to connect, cutting off access to harmful infrastructure before any communication is made.






Webinar Title: Pre-Emptive Cyber Security: Blocking Threats at the First Question
Almost every connection on the Internet begins with a DNS request. This session demonstrates how Infoblox Protective DNS stops threats at the moment of intent, blocking access to malicious infrastructure before connections are established. Discover how a pre-emptive DNS-based security strategy dramatically shrinks attack surfaces while protecting users, devices, and networks everywhere they operate.


Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speaker. The webinar will be recorded and shared with registered AISA members within 7 days post webinar. AISA's Cloud Branch webinar is available exclusively to all AISA members.
