SAN FRANCISCO — April 28, 2025 – IONIX, a pioneer in External Exposure Management, has been named a Market Innovator in Attack Surface Management by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry’s leading electronic information security magazine.

“It is an honor for IONIX to be recognized two years in a row in the Attack Surface Management category for our market innovation,” said Marc Gaffan, CEO at IONIX. “We will continue to grow and build our comprehensive solution for external attack surface management, helping security teams cut through the noise and focus on real, exploitable risks through unmatched visibility, validation and streamlined remediation.”

IONIX’s Exposure Management platform reduces the exploitable attack surface by uncovering all internet-facing assets across cloud, on-premises and third-party environments. By mapping asset relationships, assessing dependencies and validating real-world exploitability, IONIX enables security teams to prioritize and remediate the most critical exposures with speed and precision. The company recently shared the success of its Cloud Exposure Validator, which is already helping enterprises—including several Fortune 500 organizations—automate over 80% of CNAPP alert analysis and rule out exploitability for more than 40% of alerts, significantly reducing alert fatigue and improving time to remediation.

“We scoured the globe looking for cybersecurity innovators that could make a huge difference and potentially help turn the tide against the exponential growth in cyber-crime.  IONIX is absolutely worthy of this coveted award and consideration for deployment in your environment,” said Yan Ross, Global Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine.
