For more details, visit Reduce Attack Surface.

What are the main reasons behind the pain points IONIX solves?

Pain points arise due to shadow IT, unauthorized projects, and unmanaged assets, often caused by cloud migrations, mergers, and digital transformation initiatives. Fragmented IT environments and reactive security measures make early threat identification difficult. The lack of tools and contextual data for viewing the attack surface from an attacker’s perspective leads to gaps in risk prioritization. Frequent changes in assets and dependencies within dynamic IT environments complicate maintaining an up-to-date inventory. Learn more.

How does IONIX solve these pain points?

IONIX helps organizations identify their entire external web footprint, proactively manage security, provide attacker-perspective visibility, and continuously track assets and dependencies. These features ensure comprehensive risk management and mitigation. Learn more.
