Security teams are often forced to investigate unfamiliar internet-facing infrastructure with limited context and too many disconnected tools. Censys and Maltego bring Internet intelligence and visual analysis together in a single workflow, enabling analysts to identify exposed infrastructure, uncover related entities, and investigate threats faster and with greater confidence.
Customer Challenges
- Incomplete visibility into internet-facing infrastructure
- Difficulty understanding the scope and relevance of unfamiliar IPs, domains, and certificates
- Manual correlation across multiple tools and datasets
- Slow investigations caused by fragmented intelligence workflows
- Limited context for assessing exposure, risk, and related infrastructure
Joint Solution Overview
Censys and Maltego provide a unified investigation workflow by combining Internet intelligence from the Censys Platform with Maltego’s graph-based link analysis. Censys delivers data on internet-facing hosts, services, domains, certificates, and related infrastructure, giving analysts the external context needed to investigate unfamiliar indicators and assess potential risk. Maltego transforms that data into visual investigations that make it easier to identify relationships, uncover hidden connections, and understand how infrastructure is linked.
Together, Censys and Maltego enable analysts to move from a single indicator such as an IP address, domain, or certificate to broader infrastructure context more efficiently. This helps security and intelligence teams investigate faster, reduce manual correlation across tools, and make more confident decisions based on connected, evidence-driven analysis.
