It requires a dedicated solution\nthat enables early detection and the sharing of valuable network context with\nthe broader ecosystem to accelerate response. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Infoblox\nActiveTrust is that dedicated solution which provides Zain Jordan and its Internet\nsubscribers with proactive network protection against data exfiltration and\nfast-evolving, elusive malware threats that exploit DNS to communicate with command\nand control servers and botnets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever since its\nimplementation, Infoblox ActiveTrust has blocked DNS communications with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Source\n     addresses of DDoS attacks<\/li><li>APT\n     (Advanced Persistent Threats), botnets, compromised host\/domains, exploit kits,\n     malicious name servers and sinkholes.<\/li><li>Malicious\n     hostname threats that can take action on or control of end-users\u2019 systems,\n     such as malware command and control, malware download and active phishing\n     sites.<\/li><li>Ransomware\n     destination servers, which encrypts files on end-users\u2019 systems and\n     require them to pay in order to get them decrypted. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Wissam\nSaadeddine, Regional Sales Manager at Infoblox, said: \u201cWe are proud to be a\ntechnology provider to Zain Jordan for over nine years.
