Case Study: Bochum University of Applied Sciences strengthens phishing defense with Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense

Bochum University of Applied Sciences blocks phishing at the DNS layer with Infoblox after 6 years on NIOS DDI

Bochum University of Applied Sciences, a university in Germany specializing in engineering and business, faced significant cybersecurity challenges. Its existing web filter was slow and ineffective, leaving the university vulnerable to repeated phishing attacks that compromised employee data. Needing to strengthen its defenses while upholding its principle of "teaching freedom," the university turned to Infoblox for a solution using their BloxOne Threat Defense product.

Infoblox's BloxOne Threat Defense solution provided protection at the DNS layer, scanning emails and blocking access to malicious websites early to prevent damage. The implementation gave the university's IT team full transparency with comprehensive analysis tools and required minimal maintenance. As a result, Infoblox successfully helped Bochum University significantly reduce the risk of phishing attacks and create a more secure network foundation.
