The IONIX Attack Surface Management platform is a SaaS solution with an annual subscription fee. Pricing is based on the number of discovered Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) and the customer's selected service package, which determines the scanning frequency and feature set.
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.
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.

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL – April 24, 2025 — IONIX, a pioneer in External Exposure Management, today announced that its groundbreaking solution, Cloud Exposure Validator, radically enhances the efficiency of cloud security operations. Leveraging advanced AI, this new technology automates the analysis of over 80% – and reduces severity of 40% – of CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform) alerts related to external exposures, drastically reducing alert fatigue and enabling security teams to zero in on genuine, exploitable risks.
Initial deployments across more than a dozen enterprise environments, including several Fortune 500 organizations, have shown that although many CNAPP alerts are flagged as critical or high severity, we confirmed that more than 40% were not exploitable and severity was reduced. By automatically verifying exploitability, Cloud Exposure Validator helps security teams prioritize efforts based on validated threats, leading to faster and more focused remediation and significantly reducing Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR).
In modern cloud infrastructures, security operations centers are often overwhelmed by a continuous flood of alerts, many of which prove to be false positives or are already mitigated through existing security controls. Manual alert validation is time-consuming and inefficient, leaving teams stretched thin and organizations vulnerable. IONIX addresses this challenge head-on by automating the most time-intensive parts of the alert triage process.
“Security teams don’t need more alerts—they need better clarity on which alerts truly matter,” said Marc Gaffan, CEO of IONIX. “With Cloud Exposure Validator, we’re helping teams focus their time and resources on the small percentage of alerts that represent real, actionable risk. This isn’t just optimization, it’s a transformation of how cloud security is practiced.”
Early adopters have reported reclaiming hundreds of analyst hours annually, along with sharper visibility into the true state of their cloud external exposures. By transforming reactive alert management into a proactive and intelligent process, Cloud Exposure Validator is setting a new standard for automated cloud defense.
The Cloud Exposure Validator is available today for all existing IONIX customers. Attendees of the upcoming RSA Conference can see the technology in action and speak with IONIX experts by visiting Booth #N-4219.
