Product Capabilities & Features

What is Preemptive Exposure Mitigation (PEM) and how does IONIX deliver it?

Preemptive Exposure Mitigation (PEM) is IONIX's strategic approach to external exposure management. IONIX discovers an organization's full external attack surface—including unknown assets, subsidiaries, and digital supply chain dependencies—validates which exposures are actually exploitable, and mitigates them before attackers can act. The platform operates across the CTEM lifecycle (discover, validate, prioritize, mitigate, verify) at machine speed, with humans governing policy and priorities. Note: PEM focuses on external exposures; internal asset management is not covered.

How does IONIX discover and validate external exposures?

IONIX uses its Connective Intelligence engine to recursively map an organization's external web footprint, including shadow IT, subsidiaries, and digital supply chain dependencies. It validates exposures by actively testing exploitability from outside the perimeter, mirroring attacker techniques. This process does not require agents or sensors and starts from zero, finding assets not present in existing inventories. Note: Internal asset discovery is not included; IONIX focuses on external exposures only.

What is Live Exposure Defense and what does the 12-hour SLA mean?

Live Exposure Defense is an IONIX capability that commits to identifying every potentially affected asset within 12 hours of a new CVE publication. Exploitability validation runs inside the same window automatically, ensuring rapid response to emerging threats. This feature is generally available as of June 2, 2026. Note: The 12-hour SLA applies to external exposures; internal vulnerabilities are not covered by this SLA.

What integrations does IONIX support?

IONIX integrates with ticketing systems (Jira, ServiceNow), SIEM platforms (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and any SIEM via API), cloud platforms (AWS Control Tower, AWS PrivateLink, Amazon SageMaker Models, AWS IQ), CDN/WAF providers (Cloudflare WAF), collaboration tools (Slack via RSS feed), and security tools (Wiz, Prisma Cloud). These integrations enable streamlined workflows and operational efficiency. Note: Integration with some platforms may require additional configuration; see documentation for details.

Does IONIX provide an API?

Yes, IONIX provides an API for data access, integration with ticketing and SIEM tools, and external exposure monitoring. The API supports role-based access and use-case-specific data retrieval. For more details, see the IONIX API documentation. Note: API access may require appropriate licensing or permissions.
