To integrate Ionix with Cortex XSOAR, install the Ionix content pack from the XSOAR Marketplace, then configure the integration by entering your Ionix server URL and API key. The integration uses REST API calls to fetch incidents and action items directly into Cortex XSOAR. For a step-by-step guide, refer to the official integration documentation on Ionix's Cortex XSOAR Integration page.
You need your Ionix server URL (e.g., https://yourportalname.ionix.com) and a valid Ionix API key. The API key can be generated in the Ionix portal under API Settings, where you specify the token name, permissions (read-only or read-write), and expiry date. Copy the token securely for use in Cortex XSOAR.
Log into the Ionix portal, click the API Settings button, provide a name for the token, specify permissions (read-only or read-write), set an expiry date, and click “Create Token.” Copy the generated token to a secure file for later use in integrations.
Enable “Fetches incidents” to receive Ionix action items. The default fetch rate is 200 incidents per minute. You can select action item categories (DNS, PKI, Cloud, Vulnerabilities) and choose to show only active issues. For optimal performance, leave the default settings unless specific requirements dictate otherwise.
Ionix supports fetching action items in categories such as DNS, PKI, Cloud, and Vulnerabilities. By default, all action item types are included, but you can customize which categories to fetch as incidents in the integration settings.
The playbook included in the Ionix content package allows users to request additional information about reported action items, aiding context, investigation, and remediation. Users can customize playbooks or connect the template to broader workflows. Playbooks are accessed within incidents via the “Work Plan” tab in Cortex XSOAR.
Each action item includes the Ionix title, category, domain (asset), incident description, technical data, and recommended solution. This comprehensive data supports effective investigation and remediation within Cortex XSOAR.
Cortex XSOAR pulls action items from Ionix at a rate of 200 per minute until all items are uploaded. This ensures timely incident management and up-to-date dashboards.
Only read-only permissions are necessary for most integration scenarios. You can specify permissions when generating the API key in the Ionix portal.
Yes, you can select which categories (DNS, PKI, Cloud, Vulnerabilities) to fetch as incidents in the integration settings. The default is to include all categories.
Common troubleshooting steps include verifying the server URL and API key, ensuring “Fetches incidents” is enabled, and checking category selections. For further assistance, consult the official integration guide or contact Ionix support via Contact Us.

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.

Cortex XSOAR Integration Guide
IONIX can export incidents and relevant information directly to Cortex XSOAR. The integration involves having the Cortex XSOAR make calls to IONIX API endpoints in order to retrieve the information. Thus, you will need to enter the IONIX Server URL as well as a valid IONIX API key to Cortex.
The server URL is https://<your portal’s name at IONIX >.ionix.com, e.g., https://hportal.ionix.com
1. Log into the IONIX portal
2. Click the API Settings button
3. Provide a name for the token, specify if the token is read-write or read-only (only the latter is necessary), and set an expiry date.
4. Click “Create Token”
5. Copy the generated token to a secure file. You’ll need it later.
1. Head to the XSOAR Marketplace:
2. Find and install IONIX:
3. Go to Settings:
4. Search for IONIX and click on “Add Instance”:
