“Censys has given our security team the visibility and context we’ve always needed but couldn’t get from traditional threat feeds. The ability to instantly understand external infrastructure, validate active threats, and enrich threat contexts through the Censys API has streamlined our investigations and significantly reduced our response times.”
– CTO & Chief Analyst at TeamT5

The Problem

Modern SOC tech stacks rely on internal telemetry and threat intelligence to respond effectively. But these signals provide only point-in-time indicators, leaving investigations, automation, and AI workflows without the context needed to determine risk.

Modern SOCs struggle with…

Investigations Lack
Internet Context

Alerts from EDR, IAM, network security, and other systems reference external infrastructure like IPs, domains, cert hashes, and JA3 fingerprints. This forces analysts to manually investigate these unfamiliar indicators in other tools.

Threat Intelligence Is
Point-in-Time

Traditional threat intelligence feeds provide lists of indicators that quickly become outdated. They rarely reveal the infrastructure relationships or changes needed to support real-time investigations.

Internet Infrastructure
Changes Constantly

Adversaries rapidly deploy, reuse, and rotate Internet infrastructure across campaigns. Without continuous visibility, security teams struggle to keep pace with how attacker infrastructure evolves.

Automation and AI
Lack Ground Truth

Automation playbooks and AI copilots depend on accurate data about the infrastructure behind alerts. Without context, these systems risk wasteful FP investigations, or worse, damaging false negatives that end in failure to contain

Enter: The Censys Platform

Censys continuously observes Internet infrastructure across ports, services, and certificates—delivering fresh, first-party intelligence you can trust during investigations.

Censys helps SOC analysts spend time on decisions and response,
not copy-paste investigations and fixing broken feeds.
Instant IOC Enrichment

Automatically enrich IPs, domains, and certificates with first-party Internet scan evidence directly inside analyst workflows.
Start investigations with answers without relying on manual lookups or static indicator feeds.

Automated Alert Enrichment

Enrich alerts and cases automatically within SOAR workflows using Censys ARC’s real-time Internet infrastructure intelligence.
Deliver investigation context without leaving the incident workflow.

IR Scoping With Infrastructure Pivots

Pivot across hosts, services, domains, and certificates to expand from a single indicator to related infrastructure.
Scope incidents quickly and identify campaign-level infrastructure.

Detection Engineering at Scale

Turn investigation insights into repeatable detections and enrichment feeds through Collections, platform APIs, SDKs, and integrations.
Convert analyst discoveries into durable detection content.

Adversary Investigations

Use threat-intel-backed pivots and saved workflows to monitor adversaries relevant to your organization.

Cut AI Token Costs. Get Better Security Results.

AI is transforming the modern SOC, but it’s also driving runaway token costs. As prices rise and demand strains infrastructure, AI workflows are becoming more expensive and less predictable. The issue isn’t just the models but how teams use them. When you feed AI raw, low-context alerts, it has to enrich, reason, and reprocess the same data over and over, rapidly increasing token consumption with every investigation.

Censys fixes this by enriching alerts with real-time, high-confidence Internet intelligence before AI ever runs. Instead of requiring AI to interpret an alert containing IPs, domains, or certificates, your team starts with full context. Infrastructure relationships, history, adversary alignment, and exposure insights, already in place. That cuts ambiguity, eliminates redundant work, and shortens AI workflows so you use fewer tokens, move faster, and scale security operations efficiently.

Internet-Wide Context = Smarter Security Outcomes

Censys transforms Internet Intelligence into actionable context – helping SOC analysts with context they can’t get from internal tools, so they can detect, validate, and respond faster than ever.

Accelerate Alert Triage

Instantly enrich external IPs and domains with ownership, geolocation, and live service data — without leaving your console.

Validate Threat Intelligence

Correlate alerts with Censys to confirm which indicators are active, related, or benign. Use certificate fingerprints and host metadata to map adversary infrastructure and campaigns.

Eliminate Manual Processes

Automate enrichment workflows to deliver context directly where your analysts work. Integrate Censys data with your TIPs, SIEM, and SOAR solutions or via the Censys API.

See Historical Context

Accelerate investigations with historical views of the Internet – see what was running on the host, who owns it, and what threats were present.
