Attack Surface Management

ASM Isn’t Asset Inventory.
It’s Internet Visibility.

Most ASM tools infer your attack surface from DNS records and stale, external signals.
Censys continuously maps your exposure across all 65,535 ports to show you what attackers actually see.

Why Exposure Management Teams Choose Censys

How Censys ASM Fits Into Your Security Operations

Discover what others miss

Use Censys’ first-party scanning to find Internet-exposed assets, including services on nonstandard ports, self-signed certificates, hosts in residential networks, and dangling DNS records. Your inventory reflects what attackers can actually reach.

See deep details on web assets

Censys maps the JavaScript libraries, web technologies, and plugins running across your environment, then detects and flags the vulnerabilities and risks present. Screenshots of rendered webpages and full redirect chains give your team the context to remediate issues and shrink your attack surface.

Act on ARC Rapid Response

When Censys ARC flags a new critical exposure or active exploitation, you can confirm reachability in seconds and identify every affected Internet-facing asset, so your team knows where to respond first.

Detect exposure drift immediately

Monitor your surface continuously and get alerted on meaningful changes like new hosts and services, open ports, and reissued certificates to eliminate shadow IT blind spots and accelerate incident response.

Push findings into remediation workflows

Censys ranks risks by severity, category, and affected asset, so your team can act on what’s most critical. Integrate with your ticketing, SIEM, vulnerability management, or other tooling to auto-create, route, and track remediation tasks.

Get answers and audit-ready reporting

Ask the Censys Assistant plain-language questions about your inventory, like which CVEs affect you or which cloud providers are in use, and generate executive-ready reports on demand. Views track exposure trends and remediation progress over time, so you can show risk reduction backed by evidence.

Internet-wide threat investigation

When ASM finds a risky exposure, your threat hunters can pivot straight into Censys Platform to investigate the broader threat: identify likely adversaries, track reused certificates and domains, and map the campaign behind it.
