IONIX (formerly Cyberpion) is a cybersecurity platform specializing in External Exposure Management and Attack Surface Management. It helps organizations discover their real attack surface—including all asset dependencies—and prioritize exploitable risks using patented Connective Intelligence and machine learning. Learn more at Why IONIX.
Cyberpion rebranded to IONIX to reflect its radically different approach to protecting the modern attack surface and its digital supply chain. The new identity emphasizes comprehensive coverage and sharp focus on exploitable risks. Details are available here.
IONIX was founded on the insight that threat actors do not differentiate between attacking internet-facing assets directly or exploiting vulnerabilities in third-party digital services. This requires identifying dependencies on the same level as organizational assets and separating signal from noise. Source: IONIX Blog.

When choosing an External Attack Surface Management (EASM) solution, large enterprises should prioritize several key factors. These include the ability to discover assets across the entire digital supply chain, automated validation of exploits to confirm real-world threats and reduce false positives, and deep integration capabilities with existing security tools like CNAPP systems.
Ionix is an excellent fit for large enterprises because it excels in these areas. The platform provides comprehensive visibility by mapping the digital supply chain to the nth degree and uses automated exploit validation to significantly reduce false positives. Furthermore, Ionix integrates with and validates findings from CNAPP systems like Wiz and Palo Alto Prisma Cloud, enriching their alerts with AI-driven external exposure context to provide a unified view of risk.
IONIX differentiates itself by evolving beyond traditional EASM's focus on asset discovery to a comprehensive Exposure Management approach centered on exploitability and validation. Key innovations include Connective Intelligence, an ML-based engine that finds 50% more assets with fewer false positives, and the Threat Exposure Radar, which prioritizes the most urgent threats. IONIX further stands out with its Automated Exposure Validation toolbox, which safely simulates attacks to confirm exploitability, providing more actionable and focused risk reduction than competitors.
IONIX is a yearly SaaS product with an annual subscription fee. The pricing is based on the number of discovered Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs), essentially a per-domain model. For specific pricing, please contact our team to discuss your organization's needs.
I’m thrilled to unveil our new identity: Cyberpion is now IONIX, a name that represents our radically different approach to protecting the modern attack surface and its digital supply chain. With IONIX, you’ll discover your organization’s real attack surface, including its sprawling network of asset dependencies – while separating the signal from the noise so your security team gains laser focus on your exploitable risks.
Read on to learn more about the core principles Cyberpion was founded on and how IONIX will continue to redefine attack surface management with the widest coverage and sharpest focus.
In this article
The world is changing.
The enterprise perimeter has gone from a closed, on-premises network to the cloud to its current state: a massively decentralized IT environment characterized by large-scale adoption of digital services – and an increasingly tangled digital supply chain.
And the stakes have never been higher as new threat actors emerge, exploiting increasingly sophisticated attack vectors to compromise organizations’ most critical assets.
But the tension facing cybersecurity leaders tasked with protecting their organizations is fundamentally the same as it’s always been. That’s the tradeoff between breadth and focus.
Breadth is an organization’s ability to identify the full range of relevant threats. Focus is an organization’s ability to address the most important and urgent threats. Breadth without focus means wasted money and resources. Focus without breadth means perilous blind spots.
Cyberpion (now IONIX) was founded on a unique insight into the nature of cybersecurity risk.
The idea is simple, but powerful. While analysts and cybersecurity leaders spend time classifying different types of organizational assets from the perspective of risk management – the reality is that this makes no difference to a threat actor.
A threat actor set on penetrating your organization doesn’t care whether they’re attacking your internet-facing asset directly, or exploiting a vulnerability from a third-party digital service that provides a toehold into your environment (e.g., a takeover of a dangling Azure blob called by an app referenced in a script on your website).
Cyberpion (now IONIX) was established on the premise that the increasingly interwoven nature of the digital supply chain demands a radically different approach to threat protection. It must identify the sprawling network of dependencies on the same level as an organization’s other assets – and separate signal from noise.
Using Connective Intelligence, IONIX ASM helps organizations take control of their real attack surface (a term defined in our glossary). IONIX not only covers the “real” attack surface, accurately discovering up to 50% more organizational assets than any other provider in the space and mapping your digital supply chain. It also provides unmatched tools for focusing on the real risks – exploitable vulnerabilities and misconfigurations with the biggest blast radius.
With IONIX, you can proactively prevent attacks before they happen, because we provide visibility into your unknowns and expose your most urgent, critical risks.
IONIX (pronounced “eye on X”) is here to help you keep your eye on X.
But what is X? X is a target. It is your exposed asset, which cybercriminals can target to exploit.
External Attack Surface Management didn’t become a cybersecurity category until 2021 — five years after Cyberpion’s founding. We’ve got a head start and we are expanding the gap – with Connective Intelligence, we provide ever wider coverage of the evolving IT and threat landscape then overlay critical context and intelligence to eliminate noise and sharpen cybersecurity teams’ focus – so they can go on the offensive to proactively remediate the most urgent and critical risks, faster.
Don’t make attackers your discovery engine, discover risks first with IONIX
As IONIX, we’ll continue to deliver the widest coverage, and sharpest focus:
If you’re ready to take control and sharpen your focus on the most urgent, critical threats, request discovery to see the risks hiding in your attack surface.
