A New Visual Layer of Internet Intelligence for Security Teams
We’re excited to introduce Web Screenshots, a new beta feature available to all Censys Enterprise customers. With both recurring and on-demand screenshots, this capability allows you to visually inspect exposed assets across the Internet. Whether you’re tracking rogue ICS interfaces or validating newly discovered RDP endpoints, Web Screenshots brings a new dimension to your security workflows.
Why Visual Intelligence Matters
Security teams already rely on the Censys Platform for unparalleled internet visibility, scanning coverage, and contextual data. Now, they can see what exposed web services actually look like, from exposed control systems to unauthorized remote desktop portals.
This feature helps:
- Threat Hunters visually investigate attacker infrastructure without needing to navigate to malicious sites.
- SOC Analysts and Incident Responders pinpoint misconfigured web services that led to an active intrusion.
- Infrastructure teams ensure that critical ICS interfaces aren’t unintentionally exposed.
- Pentesters identify potential entry points into target organizations.
What This Means for You
With Web Screenshots, security teams gain immediate, intuitive understanding of their internet-facing services without needing to manually inspect each one. Instead of guessing what’s behind a port or spending time reproducing scans, analysts can see exposed assets as they truly appear in the wild. This makes it easier to spot critical services, confirm suspicious infrastructure, and communicate findings across teams. Whether you’re a threat hunter mapping adversary infrastructure, an IR analyst validating a misconfiguration, or an infrastructure owner monitoring remote access portals, screenshots give you the clarity you need to move quickly and decisively.
How It Works
- Recurring Screenshots are captured for select protocols during regular Censys scans
- On-Demand Screenshots are triggered through Live Discovery and Live Rescan, ideal for time-sensitive investigations.
- Screenshots are displayed directly in the Censys Platform UI on host service cards and web property endpoint cards, enabling quick recognition and verification.
Immediate Use, Zero Configuration
If you’re an Enterprise customer, this feature is live now in beta, no extra configuration required. Every screenshot is securely captured and stored, integrated seamlessly into your existing discovery and monitoring workflows.
Secure Your Edge Before It’s Exploited
Attackers don’t just scan, they screenshot and plan campaigns based on what’s exposed. Now, you can see your infrastructure the way attackers do and act faster.
This is just the beginning. Web Screenshots unlock powerful use cases in brand protection, supplier risk, and industrial monitoring. And with the Censys Platform’s evolving modular approach, it’s another step toward a more complete internet intelligence experience.
