# Guardian360 vs IONIX

Works alongside IONIX

Guardian360 works alongside IONIX, covering ground it doesn’t. A US and Israel based external attack surface and exposure management vendor focused on preemptive exposure mitigation.

What IONIX is good at

IONIX discovers and validates external exposures with a focus on exploitability, and in 2026 shipped Live Exposure Defense, turning CVE disclosure into a roughly twelve-hour agentic mitigation process with human approval, plus automatic detection of internet-facing AI assets. It is an agentless SaaS platform hosted on global cloud.
