As digital estates grow and Internet-facing infrastructure evolves quickly, Security Operation Center (SOC) teams are under pressure to modernize investigations and respond despite high alert volumes, tool sprawl, and limited analyst resources. Manual enrichment and gaps in external visibility can slow triage, complicate scoping, and make consistent response more difficult. Censys strengthens Splunk ES and Splunk SOAR with Internet intelligence, exposed asset context, and attack surface change visibility, helping teams validate exposure, investigate with greater confidence, and automate response with more speed and consistency.
Customer Challenges
- High volumes of notable events can slow triage, consume analyst’s time, and make it harder to quickly validate exposure and prioritize the alerts that require immediate attention.
- When analysts cannot quickly pivot from a single IOC to related infrastructure, services, or certificates, it becomes harder to assess scope, investigate unfamiliar indicators, and make confident response decisions.
- Limited visibility into changing internet-facing assets, services, and certificates leaves exposures and vulnerabilities open for attackers to exploit. If this visibility is not connected into the broader security ecosystem, MTTD and MTTR are both reduced.
Joint Solution Overview
Censys supports Splunk-based SOC operations in three distinct ways, each designed for a different stage of investigation and response. Together, these integrations allow Splunk users to combine automated enrichment, broader Internet intelligence, and attack surface change visibility to modernize investigation and response workflows.
Censys Platform + Splunk Enterprise Security (ES)
Brings Internet intelligence into the SIEM workflow so analysts can investigate indicators, validate exposure, pivot across related infrastructure, and scope threats faster.
Censys Platform + Splunk SOAR
Automates repeatable enrichment and response actions using Censys context on hosts, services, certificates, and related infrastructure to reduce manual effort and improve consistency.
Censys ASM for Splunk Platform
Connects comprehensive external attack surface visibility into your alerting, correlation, and reporting workflows in Splunk, allowing for automated workflows and a faster, more consistent response.
certificates, and CVEs added or removed to help analysts monitor external exposure changes
and prioritize risk.
Use Cases
IOC enrichment and triage in Splunk ES
External context on IPs, domains, certificates, services, and related infrastructure enriches notable events in Splunk ES, helping analysts validate exposure, assess severity, and prioritize investigations faster.
Automated enrichment and response in Splunk SOAR
Automated enrichment and response workflows in Splunk SOAR apply Censys context on hosts, services, certificates, and infrastructure relationships to reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and accelerate investigations.
Attack surface change investigation and response with ASM in Splunk SOAR
Attack surface visibility and change-based context from Censys ASM strengthen automated workflows in Splunk SOAR, helping teams
identify newly exposed assets, track external changes over time, and respond more consistently as Internet-facing risk evolves.
Key Business Outcomes
Faster, more confident triage in Splunk ES
External context on assets, services, certificates, and infrastructure relationships helps analysts validate exposure, assess severity, and prioritize investigations with greater confidence.
Stronger visibility into evolving external risk
Awareness of newly exposed assets and changes to internet- facing services or certificates helps teams better understand
shifting attack surface risk and make more informed prioritization and response decisions.
More efficient and consistent response with SOAR
Automated enrichment and response workflows reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and help SOC teams scale investigations more effectively.
