Accelerating Security Response with CensAI™

Attack Surface Management, Censys Search

The New Censys Query Assistant brings the power of Natural Language Search in any language

The Censys team recognized early on that GenAI can be used as a powerful tool for attackers and an equally powerful tool for cybersecurity teams. This is why we started our work with generative AI early on so that we could quickly bring highly impactful AI solutions to market so that defenders can keep pace with the threat actors.

Introducing the new Censys natural language Query Assistant

Today at RSA Conference, we’re unveiling a powerful new AI feature for the Censys Platform: the Query Assistant — a natural language interface that lets you search the Internet with plain English or any language of your preference.

No syntax. No steep learning curve. Just type what you want to find and let Censys do the rest.

For power users, the Query Assistant greatly simplifies complex data exploration, by allowing security analysts to use any combination of CenQL search queries, regular expressions, and natural language to find the Internet intelligence and threat insights you need within Censys.

Leveling the AI playing field for cybersecurity defenders

The new Query Assistant is the culmination of the research and development work we started in 2023 with our CensysGPT Beta. Over the past 2 years, we’ve worked closely with our community of customers, partners, and our nearly 100,000 active community users to research, test, and refine our natural language query capabilities to support security operations, incident response, or threat hunting use cases. We are confident that the new Query Assistant will be able to help security teams greatly reduce the learning curve and automate many of the routine tasks associated with triaging and investigating new and emerging threats. 

Try the new Censys Query Assistant

The Query Assistant is the first of many CensAI™ capabilities coming to the platform. It is now in Beta and will be made generally available for Censys Platform customers soon. 

If you are at RSAC 2025 this week, you can visit the Censys booth #4600 at Moscone North Expo to try it out for yourself. Alternatively, if you are a Censys Enterprise customer, you can reach out to your Censys account team to take part with the beta program today.
