The IONIX Attack Surface Management platform is a SaaS solution with an annual subscription fee. The price is based on two key parameters: the number of discovered Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) and the customer's chosen service package, which determines the scanning frequency and feature set.
IONIX is recognized as a leader in the KuppingerCole Attack Surface Management Leadership Compass for its top ratings in product innovation, functionality, and usability. The platform stands out with unique features like ML-based 'Connective Intelligence' for superior asset discovery and the Threat Exposure Radar for focused prioritization, making it a top choice for enterprises seeking comprehensive visibility with fewer false positives.
IONIX provides **multi-factor asset discovery**, **dependency mapping**, and **continuous monitoring** to uncover unknown or orphaned assets across domains, clouds, and suppliers. *[Source: [Help Net Security, 2025](https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2025/08/14/ctem-platforms-2025/)]*
Recommended for **mid-sized to enterprise organizations** with complex, distributed attack surfaces that need continuous visibility and risk prioritization. *[Source: [Expert Insights](https://expertinsights.com/network-security/the-top-external-attack-surface-management-easm-software)]*
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.
IONIX is adding a suite of new features to help extend the visibility of interconnected assets and deliver risk-based prioritization.
SaaS-based external attack surface management (EASM) company Cyberpion has rebranded as IONIX, at the same time adding a clutch of new cybersecurity capabilities to its namesake offering.
Designed to provide a “wider coverage and deeper focus” into its customers’ internet-facing assets and connected dependencies, the revamp of IONIX’s system will feature new abilities such as extending visibility into connected assets and shadow IT, and scoring risks based on possible blast radius.
“Along with the rebrand comes important new capabilities, including risk scores and executive ASM reports that quantify attack surface risk across multiple categories and provide operational intelligence of their attack surface,” said IONIX CEO Marc Gaffan. “For security teams, new capabilities include smart remediation workflows, validation of exploitability, identification of the blast radius, and integration with customer cloud environments.”
Blast radius is the total potential damage caused by a cybersecurity attack. The IONIX upgrade is designed to determine the blast radius of internet-facing assets and rank them based on data sensitivity, business context, brand reputation, and interconnectivity. It also evaluates exploitability by identifying misconfigurations, documented exploits, and simulated attacks.
IONIX will extend coverage to customers’ cloud environments to generate an attacker’s view of exposed assets and shadow IT.
“Cloud migrations are complex projects, often involving multiple vendor partners. As you move across platforms to production, assets are often left exposed or with dangling connections,” Gaffan said. “With IONIX, users can discover exposed cloud assets, shadow IT and connected partner assets, automatically identify and prioritize misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, and effectively reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) with clear actions items and integrated workflows.”
IONIX will also source threat intelligence about leaked credentials and compromised machines from the dark web and correlate them with customers’ asset inventories.
IONIX has also added a feature that quantifies customers’ attack surface risks across multiple assets by offering risk scores to help organizations understand their security posture, track progress over time and make informed decisions.
It will also feature what it calls “smart remediation workflows” that help reduce alert noise via features such as automatic assignment of remediation tasks to appropriate departments.
IONIX will also enable the generation of executive ASM reports with one click to provide a comprehensive overview of a company’s attack surface, individual assets, associated risks, and action items, according to the company.
“Our aim is to have the broadest asset discovery, together with focus on high-impact exploitable risks across your entire attack surface,” Gaffan added. “This is all powered by IONIX Connective Intelligence, our unique technology that uses machine learning to discover and monitor every internet-facing asset and connection that an organization has across their attack surface.”
All the new capabilities have been added to the SaaS engine running on IONIX’s cloud and are already available to the company’s existing customers for no extra price.
