IONIX vs Mandiant Advantage comparison

IONIX Attack Surface Management delivers laser-focus into your most important exploitable attack surface risks - including deep into the digital supply chain. 

IONIX ASM – Widest Coverage, Sharpest Focus

IONIX is a leader in Attack Surface Management, focused on the discovery of every internet-facing asset and the ways those assets are connected, deep into an organization’s digital supply chain, shedding light on only the most important risks to your business, and providing simple-to-follow recommendations to rapidly remediate exploitable threats and reduce attack surface risk.

What is Attack Surface Management?

Attack surface management (ASM) is the continuous discovery, analysis, remediation and monitoring of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that make up an organization’s potential attack surface.

IONIX Benefits:

Discover more – get full attack surface coverage

• Discover up to 50% more assets, even digital-supply chain assets
• Minimize false positives
• Map changes continuously

Assess further – focus only on what’s important to fix and avoid noisy alerts

• Evaluate both assets and connections
• Scan with the context of 13 asset categories

Prioritize smarter – Not an inventory of assets, a connected map of exploitability

• Go beyond severity scores
• Integrated threat intelligence
• Analyze exploitability and blast radius

Remediate faster – MTTR of days, not months

• Improve efficiency by clustering issues
• Simple-language action items to send to SOC and IT teams
• Streamline workflows with built-in integrations to SIEM, SOAR…

Protect automatically – take control of exploitable assets before hackers do

• Apply Active Protection on critically vulnerable assets, preventing attacks before they happen

Mandiant Advantage is a multi-vendor XDR platform that provides security teams of all sizes with frontline intelligence. Mandiant Advantage aims to speed up operational as well as strategic security and risk decision making. Mandiant Advantage provides security teams with an early knowledge advantage through the Mandiant Intel Grid, which provides platform modules with current and relevant threat data and analysis capabilities. Organizations are better protected from cyber attacks and more confident in their readiness when they have access to continuous security validation, detection, and response.

Mandiant Advantage Features

Mandiant Advantage has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:

• Threat intelligence: Front-line intelligence that enables a defender to be aware of the strategies and tactics that opponents are employing at this moment. Organizations will be able to contextualize, prioritize, and implement the most pertinent new intelligence by fusing ASM and threat intelligence.

• Security validation: This allows security teams to optimize, rationalize, and prioritize their security activities from a budget and manpower viewpoint. It measures the effectiveness of security controls applied within an organization. Controls can be evaluated against the most recent TTPs actively used by threat actors by incorporating information into the security validation procedure. Organizations can determine whether their security policies are successfully thwarting or detecting attacks against their external attack surface by integrating ASM and security validation.

• Automated Defense: In order to fuel SOC event/alert correlation and triage, Automated Defense combines knowledge and intelligence with machine learning. This is similar to integrating a machine-based Mandiant analyst into your security program. By merging ASM and Automated Defense, more context is given to Automated Defense, enhancing the relevance and usefulness of alarms.

• Attack surface management: ASM offers a continuous, scalable method for locating hundreds of different asset and exposure types within on-premises, cloud, and SaaS application environments. In addition to assets being found, technologies in use are also identified, and vulnerabilities are confirmed rather than just speculated. Cyber defenders are able to effectively and efficiently limit their external exposures by integrating the full Mandiant Advantage suite into ASM, which prioritizes and validates the information regarding the attack surface.

Mandiant Advantage Benefits

There are many benefits to implementing Mandiant Advantage. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:

• Boost your current security investments: No matter what security policies you have implemented, you may improve your security capabilities by automating Mandiant's expertise as a virtual extension of your team.

• Improve your visibility and priority: View the threats Mandiant is continuously monitoring across your attack surface and internal controls in order to prioritize and drive focus.

• Flexible deployment: Depending on your needs, Mandiant Advantage can be supplied as technology, along with support, or as a fully managed contract.

• Scale efficiently: Without the need for time-consuming and expensive human labor, a SaaS-based strategy deploys in hours, scales with your environment, and provides constant expert analysis.
