Continuous discovery and authenticity validation of expired domains, dangling DNS records, and abandoned cloud resources across your corporate attack surface, subsidiaries, and supply chain.
When IONIX identifies a hijackable asset, we act before attackers do: purchasing expired domains, claiming abandoned cloud buckets, and locking down exposed nameservers on your behalf, with no action required from your team.
Protected assets are held in trust and released back to your organization on request, so the exposure is neutralized while a proper remediation plan is implemented.
Your attack surface sprawls faster than any team can track, accumulating forgotten domains, orphaned cloud buckets, dangling CNAMEs, and third-party scripts no one owns anymore. When an attacker claims one, they inherit your brand’s trust instantly and can serve phishing pages on legitimate subdomains, inject malicious scripts into checkout flows, issue valid TLS certificates, and harvest credentials, all without breaching your perimeter.
It doesn’t matter whether the hijacked asset is yours, a vendor’s, or a partner’s. If it loads in your page, the headline is yours. Active Protection treats every reachable dangling asset as a real risk, because that’s how attackers see it.
With Active Protection, IONIX automatically safeguards the most vulnerable assets from abuse. Continuous discovery and validation surface every dangling asset across your corporate attack surface, subsidiaries, and supply chain. When exposures are detected, Active Protection automatically neutralizes the threat – with no action required on your part. We hold protected assets in trust and release them back to you on request, giving you time to implement a proper remediation plan. With Active Protection enabled, threats are mitigated before you even know about them.
Active Protection runs on the same engine that powers IONIX discovery and Connective Intelligence. We map every DNS chain, certificate, redirect, and web page inclusion, so we see exposures other tools miss, like a dangling script inclusion on a payment page or a CNAME to a deleted Azure App Service.
Custody status data flows into the risk scoring, attack path analysis, and ticketing workflows (JIRA, ServiceNow, SIEM, SOAR) your team already uses.
Active Protection defends every category of dangling asset that attackers exploit:
Expired and expiring domain registrations
Dangling CNAME, MX, and TXT records
AWS S3 buckets referenced by deleted resources
Azure App Services and Storage Accounts in decommissioned subscriptions
GCP Cloud Run and Cloud Functions endpoints
API Gateway references and load balancer backends
Third-party web page inclusions (scripts, images, iframes) loaded from dangling domains
