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.
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.
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.
Unauthenticated, remote attackers can execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges against certain Palo Alto’s GlobalProtect firewalls, using a just announced critical severity vulnerability which is being actively exploited in the wild.
While limited to specific versions and configurations, unauthenticated remote command execution vulnerabilities are among the most severe security vulnerabilities that exist. Indeed, CVE-2024-3400 has a critical 10 out of 10 rating under CVSS.
Palo Alto Networks (PAN) has a detailed post on the issue with affected versions. Security patches are expected to be released by April 14, 2024. Until then PAN customers can protect themselves by disabling the device telemetry feature of the impacted assets.
It is critical for security teams to identify if and where PAN GlobalProtect assets exist inside their organization. As firewalls, these vulnerable assets sit in your external attack surface. Security organizations should consider not just assets IT directly controls, but to recognize that vulnerable assets could also be deployed inside of subsidiaries, recently acquired companies, or satellite offices, and be run under different Palo Alto accounts and contracts. These are just some of the many factors that make it difficult for organizations to have an accurate view of their entire asset inventory.
In the coming weeks, once everyone has implemented mitigations and applied security updates, organizations should reflect on how long or how difficult it was for them to answer the question “Do we have vulnerable PAN assets in our organization, and if so where?”
