New IONIX service integrates cloud and on-premises security for broader risk management
April 26, 2024
Israeli attack surface management startup Ionix Inc. today launched Attack Surface Cloud Cross-View, a new service that allows organizations to view their complete attack surface risk.
Attack Surface Cloud Cross-View, offered as part of Ionix’s attack surface management platform, connects Ionix ASM to an internal cloud asset view that maps all application-level dependencies. Doing so ensures that asset importance and exploitability can be assessed across cloud and on-premises infrastructures, the company said.
Ionix argues that traditional cloud security tools operate with only an inside view of cloud environments and hence fail to identify things such as cloud shadow information technology and zombie IT accounts, unintentional internet-exposed assets and digital supply chain risks. Additionally, the company claims that as cloud security is usually managed separately with dedicated tools and teams, the approach leads to gaps in the way organizations manage their holistic attack surface, resulting in a limited understanding of the importance and context of cloud assets.
