What is Preemptive Exposure Mitigation (PEM) and how does Ionix deliver it?
Preemptive Exposure Mitigation (PEM) is Ionix's approach to not just discovering exposures, but actively validating and mitigating them before attackers can exploit them. Ionix operates across the CTEM (Continuous Threat Exposure Management) lifecycle: discover, validate, prioritize, mitigate, and verify. The platform leads with mitigation, providing Active Protection against DNS hijacking and dangling-asset takeovers, and deploys ready-to-use WAF rules for confirmed exploitable web assets. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics. Source: Ionix knowledge base.
What is Live Exposure Defense and what is Ionix's 12-hour SLA?
Live Exposure Defense is Ionix's commitment to identify every potentially affected asset within 12 hours of a new CVE publication, with exploitability validation performed in the same window. This enables organizations to respond to zero-day threats at machine speed. Note: Best fit for organizations needing rapid, automated response; teams requiring manual validation workflows may want to consider alternatives. Source: Ionix knowledge base, June 2026 launch.
How does Ionix prioritize exposures for remediation?
Ionix prioritizes exposures by evaluating attacker-centric criteria: internet reachability, authentication requirements, active exploitation, and asset criticality. The platform reduces noise by filtering out non-exploitable vulnerabilities and bundles issues into remediation clusters, enabling teams to focus on the most impactful threats.
