How does Ionix detect and validate exposures to new CVEs like CVE-2025-68613?
Ionix uses multi-factor discovery methods (DNS analysis, certificate mapping, metadata inspection, and more) to map all internet-facing assets. It continuously monitors dozens of threat intelligence feeds, applies AI to evaluate exploitability, and filters vulnerabilities by attacker-centric criteria. Ionix then creates safe, non-intrusive exploit validations and routes results through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools for rapid remediation. Source
What steps does Ionix take to reduce mean time to remediation (MTTR) for critical vulnerabilities?
Ionix shortens MTTR by bundling issues into remediation clusters, prioritizing them based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. Results are integrated with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools, and issues are written in plain language for fast, actionable remediation. Source
