Frequently Asked Questions
Product Information & Features
What is the IONIX Threat Center and how does it help with zero-day vulnerabilities?
The IONIX Threat Center is a centralized feature within the IONIX Attack Surface Management (ASM) platform that accelerates security teams' response to newly disclosed zero-day vulnerabilities. It delivers up-to-the-minute insights into exposures posed by the latest zero-day threats, identifies specific assets that are exposed or potentially exposed, and highlights suggested remediation actions. Customers can respond up to three times faster to zero-day threats, as validated by IONIX's continuous scanning and vulnerability tracking. Source
How does IONIX validate and prioritize zero-day exposures?
IONIX's Threat Lab research team performs non-intrusive exploit simulations on each customer's unique environment to identify and validate exploitable assets. These validated findings are presented in the Threat Center, giving customers focused visibility into their zero-day exposures and one-click access to remediation actions. For example, IONIX mapped and tested the exploitability of customers' Jenkins instances for CVE-2024-23897 within hours of disclosure. Source
What are the key functions of the IONIX Threat Center?
The IONIX Threat Center provides:
- Zero-Day Threat Identification and Response: Rapid detection of new vulnerabilities exploited in the wild, relevant to customers' technology stacks.
- Actionable Remediation: Accessible findings in the customer portal, with validated exploitability and recommended remediation actions.
- Proactive Communication: Transparent updates, including notifications when no exploitable instances are found, reinforcing thoroughness and reliability.
