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 illuminates exploitable risks across the real attack surface and its digital supply chain providing security teams with critical focus to accelerate risk reduction
NEW YORK, NY – March 21, 2023 – Cyberpion, the leader in Attack Surface Management, has rebranded as IONIX (pronounced ‘eye on x’). IONIX helps customers keep an ‘eye on x,’ providing visibility into their real attack surface including an organization’s internet-facing assets and their mesh of connected dependencies.
A threat actor set on penetrating an organization doesn’t care whether they’re attacking internet-facing assets directly or exploiting a vulnerability from an exposed third-party digital service. Using Connective Intelligence, IONIX accurately maps an organization’s real attack surface and its digital supply chain, discovering more organizational assets than any other provider, and delivers unmatched capabilities for proactively preventing attacks.
2022 was a transformational year for IONIX. The company delivered 250% ARR growth and secured $27 million in Series A funding, led by U.S. Venture Partners and existing investors Team8 Capital and Hyperwise Ventures. In January 2023, IONIX announced that Marc Gaffan had been named CEO. Co-founder Nethanel Gelernter moved from CEO to Chief Technology Officer where he is focusing on accelerating innovation and scaling the company’s ASM platform. Additionally, the company announced the appointment of Doron Gill as Vice President of Engineering, and Ido Samson as Chief Revenue Officer.
“IONIX was built on the premise that the increasingly interwoven nature of the digital supply chain demands a radically different approach to threat protection by identifying the sprawling network of dependencies on the same level as an organization’s other assets,” said Marc Gaffan, CEO, IONIX. “IONIX’s ASM solution helps organizations take control of their real attack surface and its digital supply chain. By working closely with our customers, we have expanded our offering with wider coverage and deeper focus into their biggest attack surface risks. We believe that our new brand and product strategy will provide us with a strong platform to grow and lead in this market.”
IONIX Connective Intelligence technology leverages machine learning to discover and monitor every internet-facing asset and connection, delivering laser focus into the most critical risks to the business. IONIX goes further, enabling action by providing the tools to rapidly remediate exploitable threats and reduce attack surface risk.
IONIX focuses on real risks by surfacing exploitable issues with large blast radius that require immediate attention. With less noise and fewer alerts, security teams can remediate what matters most, faster. To deliver on these market needs, IONIX has significantly expanded its capabilities to include:
“The IONIX brand is new, but the team here has been helping organizations secure their extended attack surface since long before there was even a market category,” said Rik Turner, senior principal analyst in Omdia’s IT security and technology team. “What they are delivering now as IONIX is a combination of broad coverage of the extended attack surface, along with a focus on the threats that matter most to the organization. The addition of the Risk Scores and Executive Reports comes as the C-Suite and Boards of Directors are focused on cybersecurity like never before, due to the attention of lawmakers and regulators, not to mention the extra attention attack surfaces have gained thanks to the pandemic.”
