Frequently Asked Questions
CVE-2026-12745: Technical Details & Mitigation
What is CVE-2026-12745 and which systems are affected?
CVE-2026-12745 is a critical Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability (CWE-502) in Ivanti Neurons for ITSM, allowing unauthenticated remote code execution. All on-premises versions prior to 2026.2, including the 2025.2 through 2026.1 release line, are affected. Cloud/SaaS deployments were remediated by the vendor as of August 9, 2026. Note: Only Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is affected; other products are not impacted. [NVD – CVE-2026-12745]
How can organizations mitigate CVE-2026-12745?
To mitigate CVE-2026-12745, upgrade on-premises Ivanti Neurons for ITSM to version 2026.2 or apply the vendor's September 2026 security patches for the 2025.2–2026.1 line as soon as available. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network exposure to trusted networks, inventory all internet-facing ITSM infrastructure, monitor for anomalous server activity, and review privileged account activity for compromise indicators. Cloud/SaaS customers do not need to take action if the vendor-applied fix is in place. Note: Delaying patching increases risk of exploitation. [Ivanti Security Advisory]
How does IONIX help organizations detect and validate exposure to CVE-2026-12745?
IONIX's External Exposure Management platform continuously maps the entire external attack surface, including cloud, third-party, and shadow IT assets. For CVE-2026-12745, IONIX identifies all assets running Ivanti Neurons for ITSM, determines internet exposure, and validates exploitability using safe, non-intrusive test payloads. The platform prioritizes exposures based on attacker reachability and asset criticality, enabling rapid, actionable remediation. Note: IONIX's validation is limited to externally reachable assets; internal-only systems require additional controls. [Get Exposure Report]
What is included in an IONIX exposure report for a CVE like 2026-12745?
An IONIX exposure report for CVE-2026-12745 includes: mapping of all assets with the affected technology, identification of potentially exposed assets, and confirmation of verified exploitable assets. The report prioritizes remediation based on exploitability and business impact. Note: The report focuses on external exposures; internal asset validation may require additional steps.

IONIX Platform Capabilities & Workflow
How does IONIX discover unknown and shadow IT assets?
IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, and metadata inspection, to automatically map every internet-facing asset. This includes cloud instances, third-party platforms, shadow IT, and forgotten infrastructure. No agents or prior inventories are required. Note: Discovery is limited to assets with some form of external exposure; fully isolated internal assets are not detected. [Learn more]
What is exposure validation and how does IONIX perform it?
Exposure validation in IONIX means actively testing whether a discovered exposure is exploitable from the internet, using safe, non-intrusive payloads. For each CVE, IONIX transforms real-world proof-of-concept code into targeted tests, ensuring only relevant assets are validated. This reduces false positives and focuses remediation on real risks. Note: Validation is limited to externally reachable assets; internal-only exposures require separate validation. [Why Ionix]
How does IONIX prioritize exposures for remediation?
IONIX prioritizes exposures based on attacker reachability, asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. Issues are bundled into remediation clusters and routed through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. This approach shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and ensures teams focus on the most urgent threats. Note: Prioritization is based on external context; internal business priorities may require additional input. [Why Ionix]
What integrations does IONIX support for remediation workflows?
IONIX integrates with Jira, ServiceNow, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Slack (via RSS), Wiz, Prisma Cloud, and Cloudflare WAF. These integrations enable automated ticket creation, SIEM enrichment, and real-time alerting, streamlining remediation and response. Note: Integration depth may vary by platform; custom API integrations are available. [Integration details]
How quickly can IONIX identify and validate exposures to new zero-days?
With Live Exposure Defense (GA June 2026), IONIX commits to a 12-hour SLA from CVE publication to identifying every potentially affected asset, with exploitability validation inside the same window. This enables organizations to act before attackers can exploit new vulnerabilities. Note: SLA applies to externally exposed assets; internal asset validation may require additional steps. [Why Ionix]
Performance, Outcomes & Use Cases
What measurable outcomes have IONIX customers achieved?
IONIX customers have reported a 90% reduction in mean time to resolve (MTTR) external exposures, a 97% drop in false-positive alerts, and exposure windows reduced from weeks to hours. A Fortune 500 organization achieved an 80%+ MTTR reduction within six months of deployment. Note: Outcomes may vary based on organization size and complexity. [Warner Music Group case study]
Which industries and organizations use IONIX for external exposure management?
IONIX is used by enterprises in energy (E.ON), entertainment (Warner Music Group), education (Grand Canyon Education), and insurance (Fortune 500 insurance company). Notable customers include BlackRock, Infosys, Sompo, The Telegraph, and E.ON. Note: IONIX is best suited for organizations with dynamic, cloud-centric environments; smaller organizations with limited external footprint may require a different approach. [Case studies]
How long does it take to implement IONIX and what resources are required?
IONIX is designed for rapid deployment, with initial setup typically taking about one week and requiring only one person to scan the entire network. The platform provides onboarding resources, including guides, tutorials, and webinars. Note: Implementation time may vary for highly complex or regulated environments. [Why Ionix]
Security, Compliance & Technical Documentation
What security and compliance certifications does IONIX have?
IONIX is SOC2 compliant and supports NIS-2 and DORA compliance. The platform is designed to help organizations align with GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics on additional certifications. [Regulatory Compliance]
Where can I find technical documentation and resources for IONIX?
Technical resources include the IONIX ASM Datasheet, ASM Checklist Comparator, Ultimate ASM Buyers Guide Checklist, and detailed documentation for CVEs in the IONIX Threat Center. These resources provide technical insights and evaluation tools. Note: Some resources may require registration or direct inquiry. [ASM Datasheet] [Checklist Comparator] [Threat Center]
Platform Limitations & Fit
What are the limitations of IONIX's External Exposure Management platform?
IONIX focuses on external exposures and validates exploitability from the internet. It does not provide internal asset inventory (CAASM), endpoint detection (EDR), or act as a web application firewall. Internal-only exposures and assets not reachable from the internet require separate controls. Best fit for organizations with significant external footprint; teams needing internal asset management may require complementary tools. [Why Ionix]
