Have you ever wished your security licensing could keep up with the ever-changing threat landscape and your evolving needs? Then listen up.
On September 1, 2025, Infoblox introduced token-based licensing for our security portfolio. That includes Infoblox Threat Defense™, Dossier, Lookalike Domain Monitoring, SOC Insights and more. Instead of rigid SKUs and fixed entitlements, tokens give you flexible, modular access to the protection your environment needs, when and where you need it.
Because security demands options that move at the speed that risks change, your security licensing should be able to keep up.
So, What Is a Token?
Think of Infoblox Security Tokens as a universal key that unlocks capabilities across the Infoblox security suite. You buy the tokens you need and apply them where they are needed:
- Want to secure your hybrid cloud with Threat Defense? Apply tokens there.
- Need to monitor for impersonation campaigns with Lookalike Monitoring? Allocate tokens.
- Want to investigate faster with Dossier or visualize coverage with SOC Insights? Tokens power those too.
- Need to export logs to your SIEM or SOAR? Use Reporting Tokens.
It’s a modern model for how organizations operate today: dynamic, incremental and focused on preemptive coverage across users, workloads and infrastructure.
Why This Matters Now
The threat landscape isn’t just evolving—it’s accelerating. Adversaries now use AI to craft attacks that mutate in real time, slipping past static defenses. Meanwhile, traditional license models tied to seats or tiers can’t keep up with how security is deployed across hybrid, cloud-first environments.
Infoblox Threat Defense is designed for preemptive protection1: blocking threats before execution by identifying attacker infrastructure early in the kill chain. Now, tokens bring that same preemptive mindset to how you license it.
| You don’t have to max out your deployment, wait for renewal cycles or guess where your next investment should go. You simply adjust the allocation of tokens to where your risk or need is at that moment. |
Built for Adaptability
What makes tokens powerful isn’t just where you can use them, it’s how easily you can reallocate them whenever and where.
- Want to start in the cloud, then expand to on-prem? You can. Or vice versa.
- Temporarily increasing log exports for an audit or investigation? Easy.
- Growing your protected asset footprint? Tokens scale with you.
Tokens are automatically tracked and allocated based on usage. And with the Infoblox Licensing Portal, you have full visibility into how they’re being used—no spreadsheets, no surprises.
Designed for Your Ecosystem
Infoblox Tokens don’t just support a flexible product strategy, they power integrations across your entire security stack. Threat intelligence from Infoblox feeds into next-generation firewalls (NGFWs), SIEMs and extended detection and response (XDR) platforms, and more. With Security Workspace, SOC teams can monitor DNS-layer threats in real time. And with Dossier, they can research threats quickly and efficiently without switching tools.

See What DNS-First Security Looks Like
Infoblox Tokens give you more than a flexible way to license security—they give you a way to take control of how, where and when you protect your environment. Whether you’re a current customer looking to simplify entitlements, or new to Infoblox and exploring preemptive DNS security, tokens let you move fast without being boxed in.
