Censys is a leading provider of internet intelligence and attack surface management solutions. Censys has transformed the capabilities of digital intelligence. This allows companies to stay ahead of threats and identify potential risks before they emerge. Users receive detailed information about external assets and the ability to respond immediately to threats.

The company’s main solution is the Censys platform, which includes two key features:

• Censys Search provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date set of internet intelligence data for detecting threats on a global scale, helping companies protect organizational external perimeters and promptly identify vulnerabilities.
• Censys Attack Surface Management (ASM) helps organizations identify, monitor, and manage their external assets in real-time, detecting and preventing threats before they can cause harm.

At Censys, we believe that cybersecurity is the key to the success of the modern economy. By providing clients with detailed information about real threats, Censys helps companies and governmental organizations protect their digital space and combat modern cyber threats.

A key advantage of Censys has always been its unique and accurate data on the global Internet. Developed from a research project at the University of Michigan, today Censys sets the standard for effective attack surface management for organizations worldwide.
