What Axur does

Axur is a Brazil-headquartered (Porto Alegre) AI-powered external cybersecurity SaaS platform founded in 1999 and now operating as an Infoblox company following its May 2026 acquisition. The company provides modular threat detection and remediation services targeting enterprise security teams and managed security service providers (MSSPs), with named modules covering Takedown (98.9% success rate, under 4-minute phishing notification), Brand Protection, Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Deep & Dark Web monitoring, Online Piracy, Threat Hunting, Executive & VIP Protection, and Data Leakage detection. Free tools (Threat Scan, Domain Watchdog) support top-of-funnel demand generation.

The platform's core technology is multi-modal AI scanning across web, social platforms, mobile app stores, and dark web, processing over 40 million URLs daily. Proprietary AI components include GenAI-powered brand protection (detecting phishing that evades keyword-based tools), an LLM-driven DataHub pipeline for credential extraction and deduplication at a reported 0.03% error rate, and automated takedown workflows that delivered 500,000 removals in 2025 with a 9-hour median threat uptime. The architecture combines LLMs with adaptive heuristics and is exposed through a documented API.

The business operates a SaaS subscription model with custom quote-based annual pricing, distributed through direct enterprise sales, a VAR partner program, and an MSSP channel enabling white-label and managed service resale. Following the May 2026 acquisition by Infoblox, Axur's capabilities were integrated into Infoblox's Digital Risk Protection Services (DRPS), extending distribution through Infoblox's global channel. Named enterprise customers include Volkswagen, Toyota, Carrefour, BTG Pactual, Magazine Luiza (Magalu), Boticário, Natura, PPG, Cimed, Ambev, Grupo Salinas, Rock in Rio, Zoop, and Smiles.
