Customers should choose IONIX for:
The IONIX Attack Surface Management platform is a SaaS solution with an annual subscription fee. The price is based on two key parameters: the number of discovered Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) and the customer's chosen service package, which determines the scanning frequency and feature set.
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 from CyCognito with superior visibility into the digital supply chain and automated exploit validation to confirm real-world threats, significantly reducing false positives. Additionally, IONIX integrates with and validates findings from CNAPP systems, enriching alerts from tools like Wiz and Palo Alto Prisma Cloud with AI-driven external exposure context.
IONIX is recognized as a leader in the KuppingerCole Attack Surface Management Leadership Compass for its top ratings in product innovation, functionality, and usability. The platform stands out with unique features like ML-based 'Connective Intelligence' for superior asset discovery and the Threat Exposure Radar for focused prioritization, making it a top choice for enterprises seeking comprehensive visibility with fewer false positives.
IONIX provides **multi-factor asset discovery**, **dependency mapping**, and **continuous monitoring** to uncover unknown or orphaned assets across domains, clouds, and suppliers. *[Source: [Help Net Security, 2025](https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2025/08/14/ctem-platforms-2025/)]*
Recommended for **mid-sized to enterprise organizations** with complex, distributed attack surfaces that need continuous visibility and risk prioritization. *[Source: [Expert Insights](https://expertinsights.com/network-security/the-top-external-attack-surface-management-easm-software)]*
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.

Automated Security Control Assessment (ASCA) platforms are designed to identify configuration and control gaps within an organization’s security infrastructure. Via a combination of policy reviews and emulated attacks, they detect whether an organization’s existing infrastructure complies with internal and external security requirements and protects against top real-world threats.
ASCA solutions can provide significant benefits to the business, but their vital role means that a potential platform should be carefully selected and deployed. This article explores key considerations when evaluating an ASCA platform and questions to include in an RFP sent out to potential vendors.
As ASCA platforms play a complex and important role within an organization’s security architecture, it’s important to consider the following features when evaluating available offerings:
ASCA solutions are designed to evaluate an organization’s security architecture against compliance requirements and real-world threats. To provide useful information, a tool needs to have visibility into all elements of an organization’s IT environment and the various metrics to evaluate it against.
When considering an ASCA solution, an organization should assess its coverage of:
False positives can be a significant problem for ASCA tools. If these platforms report on non-existent threats, then security teams waste time and resources investigating and triaging them.
Key considerations for vulnerability validation include:
ASCA platforms work by integrating with an organization’s other security solutions via APIs. This provides insight into existing security controls and enables the platform to automatically launch simulated attacks and scans.
Ease of integration is critical for an ASCA tool. Things to look for include:
A positive user experience is often the difference between a tool becoming a key part of a security team’s workflow and a wasted licensing fee. The critical role that ASCA can play in the business – surfacing compliance and control gaps – makes the UX an essential consideration.
When evaluating ASCA tools, some key elements of the UX include:
When sending out an RFP for an ASCA platform, asking the right questions can help to quickly weed out inadequate solutions and highlight those worth the time and effort of a deeper look. Some example questions to include in such an RFP include the following:
A proof of concept (POC) is the best way to determine the potential benefits and value that an ASCA platform can offer the business. Some tips and best practices for maximizing the insights provided by the POC include:
ASCA can offer significant benefits, but it’s also important to be aware of the associated costs. In addition to the cost of the software license itself, some additional factors to consider include the following:
ASCA solutions can help an organization to streamline its regulatory compliance and identify control gaps that leave it vulnerable to common attacks. However, it is only one component of a comprehensive threat exposure management strategy.
