Unified vulnerability data has reduced risk and currently cuts duplicate tools and license costs
Seemplicity can be improved by adding additional graphs and charts that make it easier to do trending over time. I had to do some of that manually via manual reports, but Seemplicity already has a feature request for this. Seemplicity has done a pretty good job of keeping up with integrations. One gap that I identified and that Seemplicity is trying to fill now is having a complete end-to-end mapping. Seemplicity currently looks at the external attack surface using tools like Censys, and then looks at the internal side, examining what is in AWS and other clouds using CSPM. However, there is not anything that currently ties a property on the outside to a system on the inside, especially when you have additional security layers like web application firewalls that actually mitigate the risk.

Security automation has transformed incident investigations and now delivers faster, trusted responses
AttackIQ offers quick response and gathers more information so I could identify some compromise or incident compromise and perform some analysis. I love the feature for detection engineering, security control validations, zero trust, MITRE ATT&CK, third-party risk validation, and defense optimization. AttackIQ Ready! validations, AttackIQ Flex, and the Command Center help my workflow. For the governance and security of AttackIQ, I believe these surpass the standards of ISO and the NIST standard. Upon review, the optimizations and documentation of AttackIQ are great. The information is complete, and overall, it is awesome. For the accuracy and reliability of output, AttackIQ provides very great information, especially for every incident or request that has occurred. As I have experienced, it provided a great outcome, trustable results, and verified results. Overall, it is great and awesome. I am very happy and thankful for AttackIQ for providing this great application with complete platforms ready. The Enterprise, Command Center, operating system, and solution are great, covering detection engineering, compliance optimizations, defense optimizations, and security control validations. The at-scale offensive testing is great as well, along with red team augmentations, adversary emulation, reduced exposure, and vulnerability prioritization. The optimized defensive posture and especially the zero trust aspect make me very happy regarding AttackIQ, especially its MITRE ATT&CK integrations and third-party risk validations. That is overall awesome.

Is user-friendly, quick to install, and provides great visibility into our assets
IONIX helps us with KPIs by identifying our assets and locating publicly accessible vulnerabilities within those assets. Additionally, it provides a severity rating for each vulnerability. The tracking is important because it ensures we are not replicating efforts. IONIX prioritizes bug fixes based on severity using a scale of one to ten. This ensures that critical and high-priority issues are addressed immediately. IONIX helps us identify our most critical assets, the ones that have the biggest impact on our risk exposure. It can also pinpoint any of these assets that are externally facing, meaning accessible to anyone on the internet. This is extremely valuable because having critical assets exposed to the public internet significantly increases the risk of attack. By identifying these exposed assets and highlighting their vulnerabilities, IONIX provides a crucial service. IONIX excels at identifying risks in third-party digital supply chains. This makes it easy to leverage those KPIs and demonstrate a potential correlation between security and search engine optimization to our marketing team, thereby getting them involved. Fortunately, I haven't had to discuss any false positives. The majority of our alerts, particularly the medium-severity ones, seem to be triggered by hyperlinks to third-party websites. We have a significant number of these alerts, and I'm scheduled to meet with the marketing department to address them. The IONIX user interface is truly user-friendly. Setting up a link, and credentials, and navigating the platform was incredibly fast and required no prior configuration. Within five minutes, I was up and running, able to explore a report and initiate action from our infrastructure team. It's a remarkably fast and smooth experience. Non-technical people can see the evidence and take action based on their one-sentence actionable items. IONIX integrates with our SOC tools to automate tasks. We plan to further leverage IONIX by integrating our AWS public-facing assets and Jira ticketing system. This will allow for automated project creation for our infrastructure team. I realized the value of IONIX within the first five minutes. It identified two critical vulnerabilities that we were then able to address. The Active Protection feature automatically detects exploitable vulnerabilities in our system and takes control of them, without requiring manual intervention from us. IONIX can potentially take control of an asset before an attacker does. This would prevent the attacker from gaining access. IONIX would notify us of the issue and help us mitigate it before returning control of the asset. Ultimately, it's far better to have a trusted security provider like IONIX manage our assets than a malicious actor. The Active Protection feature is important to us for those reasons. IONIX helps us reduce our mean time to remediation by providing clear and concise information. This allows our marketing team to address certain situations without requiring IT intervention. I've accessed the IONIX threat exposure radar three times since its implementation, and thankfully, there haven't been any threats detected on any of those occasions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Seemplicity really shines on that remediation component and being able to automate that workflow, and that's a gap where we could not find one of our existing technology partners to be able to fill that void."
"I was also able to pay for the tool twice over by using it for tool rationalization."
"Before we really struggled with meeting SLAs that were in place because we did not have the information we needed and there was too much back and forth, now we nearly have a perfect SLA meeting time."
"Seemplicity is helping us generate immense ROI in terms of helping secure our infrastructure, applications, endpoints, and understanding vulnerabilities that we really did not have a good process of understanding before."
"The best features Seemplicity offers include the aggregation logic, the way it is simplified to view and access, and the ability to have a view in a simpler way."
"We have seen improvements in remediation rates, as initially a lot of our metrics were in the red, but now all are in the green or yellow."
"Seemplicity has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to provide a single viewpoint into vulnerability management and pen testing for our customers."
"The biggest impact Seemplicity has had on my organization is turning what used to be a fragmented, manual process into something structured and accountable."
"Running in our SOC, it moves the conversation from assumptions and dashboards to measurable proof, which is exactly what makes AttackIQ valuable in day-to-day security operations."
"Overall, I've had a good experience with the product. It's worked well for me."
"After using AttackIQ, it has helped the team and the company improve on false positives and reduce risk, as most people are now capable of identifying how to work on detection, improving fine-tuning and all those things."
"AttackIQ has improved my security posture by validating security controls, identifying detection gaps, and increasing confidence in my detection and response capabilities."
"AttackIQ has had a positive impact on the organization, especially in the areas of continuous security validation, detection improvement, and overall defensive readiness, with highlights including improved visibility into detection gaps, stronger security controls validation, better SOC readiness, and faster detection engineering improvements, which are improvement areas we have implemented in our project using AttackIQ."
"AttackIQ gave the customer visibility into threat areas they were previously unaware of, prompting them to manage those threats and their associated risks because if they don't know a relevant threat exists, they won't manage it, thus improving their understanding and approach to their threat attack surface."
"From investigations and analysis that previously took four to eight hours, I can now complete them in about ten minutes because of the automations and orchestration."
"AttackIQ is solving a lot of the problems that I had before or that we as an organization had before, even the security team, so it is solving all my issues."
"The portal is an excellent resource, offering valuable insights in a clear and actionable format. It provides a wealth of information, presented in a way that's easy to understand and use. This aligns perfectly with our key focus when working with IONIX: ensuring the data they deliver is highly actionable."
"The most valuable feature of IONIX is the effortless setup."
"The integration was easy."
"My favorite is the dark web association that it does. It basically takes things that are unknown to you and then also runs those URLs through the dark web to see if there are potentially leaked credentials unknown to you. It links both of those together and gives you that on a report. You can identify potentially compromised credentials that were previously unknown to you, and you can do something about them. It is a cool feature."
"IONIX enables us to manage all our assets from one platform. We can see all the assets, login pages, web services, etc., from one place. It automatically scans everything so we can find new information about our organization. We don't need to add each asset or interface manually."
"We're constantly surprised by how good IONIX is at detecting timely vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"To improve Seemplicity, I would suggest having more knowledge base and more threat intel."
"For Seemplicity, I would say two things for improvement. First, reporting customization could go further because this industry is evolving; the CEO tries to get much information that they are looking for."
"Seemplicity could use more improvement around the user interface."
"Seemplicity can be improved because sometimes the rule setting can be a little complicated, and for instance, filtering out the criteria may not be useful at times, as it can be too complicated based on the business requirements."
"There are some bits on the cleanliness of dashboarding and maybe a little bit on the reporting side, but not too much improvement needed as of now."
"Seemplicity can be improved by adding additional graphs and charts that make it easier to do trending over time."
"As the account is growing, some of the dashboards are slowing down, so optimizing that could be one area for improvement."
"Seemplicity could be improved with some of the aggregation accessibility. Currently, it is a bit of a black box and can be a bit of a bottleneck."
"The initial setup was quite difficult and took a long time."
"I would appreciate deeper integrations with security tools. AI-assisted remediations and recommendations would be helpful."
"The initial setup was difficult. It was not straightforward."
"From a technical viewpoint regarding pricing, I've heard that the pricing point is around a couple of thousand dollars per test point, which is considered a bit high, but I understand that AttackIQ is willing to provide a better offer."
"One area for improvement is the initial configuration complexity, which is very complex in the initial stage to configure the whole thing and integrate with the SOC, presenting a learning curve for organizations that are new to adversary emulation or continuous security validation, particularly concerning the initial setup scenario customization and workflow tuning."
"I rate AttackIQ an eight for now. I choose eight for the two remaining aspects that should involve process improvement and further improvements for AttackIQ."
"The customer support for AttackIQ is good but can be better."
"There is a learning curve at the beginning, especially for teams that are quite new to a BAS or continuous validation solution."
"The integration and mechanisms for scanning things after we fix them could be simpler. IONIX isn't an easy product to use, but it's one of the best solutions once you learn how to work with it."
"It would be extremely beneficial if IONIX could integrate with popular SaaS services like Salesforce, Box, Zoom, or NetSuite."
"Integrating on-premise Jira with IONIX to track changes and discussions would be highly beneficial for us in the future."
"There are a couple of opportunities for them under integrations. They only have two SIEMs. They do not have our current SIEM in there. It would be nice to have our current SIEM in there, which is Hunter's AI."
"IONIX can offer additional services to detect any potential bridging of very sensitive internal resources to the external side."
"Our team is always looking for ways to improve the product. Although we understand we are not the only client, the company has been very receptive to our suggestions."
