What is the main announcement in the blog 'Announcing IONIX + Wiz: Bridging the Gap Between Security Validation and Cloud Security'?
The blog announces that IONIX has joined the Wiz Integration Network (WIN) Platform, integrating Wiz's cloud security platform with IONIX's Cloud Exposure Validator. This integration enables security teams to focus on validated security exposures that present real risks to their organizations. Read the announcement.
What is the significance of the IONIX + Wiz partnership?
The IONIX + Wiz partnership bridges the gap between security validation and cloud security, enhancing cloud security operations by integrating threat exposure management with cloud security tools. Announced by Amit Sheps on June 18, 2025. Learn more.
Can you provide real-world examples of how the IONIX and Wiz integration has validated cloud risks?
Yes. For example, a critical vulnerability detected by Wiz with a CVSS score of 9.8 was downgraded after IONIX’s validation determined it wasn’t exploitable due to network segmentation. Another case involved a potential attack path to sensitive data identified by Wiz, which was escalated to high risk after IONIX confirmed it was exploitable. Read more.
