Censys Attack Surface Management
About the product
Censys ASM is a solution that enables organizations to comprehensively manage their external attack surface through advanced scanning of Internet resources. Every day, Censys searches the global IP space and analyzes TLS/SSL, DNS, and HTTP data, creating a detailed and up-to-date picture of an organization’s publicly available resources, both on-premises and in the cloud. The product enables rapid detection of new resources, misconfigurations, and potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by cybercriminals.
Advantages of the product
Daily global scanning of IPv4 address space and active DNS monitoring
Detecting shadow IT resources and unauthorized deployments in multi-cloud environments
Mapping relationships between resources and their components
Intelligent risk analysis and identification of incorrect configurations
Integration with security systems (SIEM, SOAR, EDR) and ITSM platforms
Benefits of Implementation
Full visibility of all publicly accessible resources of the organization
Censys creates a dynamic catalog of resources—from hosts and IP addresses to certificates, domains, and services—allowing you to effectively control what is truly exposed to the world.
Early detection of shadow IT and unauthorized deployments
By analyzing data from across the Internet, resources running outside of official processes—e.g., by DevOps teams or external contractors—are detected.
Reduced risk associated with misconfigurations and outdated services
The system identifies configurations that increase the attack surface (e.g., open administrative ports, unencrypted services) and monitors changes over time.
Automation of incident detection and corrective actions
The ability to integrate with SOAR tools or ticketing systems (e.g., Jira, ServiceNow) allows you to respond to risks faster and without manual intervention.
Compliance support – GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS
Automated reports and monitoring help document regulatory compliance and prepare for audits.
Strengthening collaboration between security, IT, and development teams
With shared visibility into assets and incidents, teams responsible for development, infrastructure, and security can collaborate more effectively.
