Our take
Censys is the leading provider of continuous attack surface management, as its platform provides the world’s most comprehensive real-time view of global networks and devices. Its market-leading internet datasets and comprehensive certificate database, as well as its integrations with common cloud providers, uncover the hidden links between assets, unknown assets and associated risks, and provides a comprehensive internet inventory.
Some of its customers include Google, NATO, FireEye, Swiss Armed Forces, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and over 10% of the Fortune 500. While the company has been growing rapidly (seeing triple-digit year on year revenue growth) Censys remains focused on accelerating R&D, engineering, and product/sales operations, particularly in Western Europe.
$75 million in funding awarded in 2023 is being used to fund its expansion and consolidate its status as a leading player in global internet infrastructure. Between 2022 and 23, the company enjoyed a 130% annual growth, an upward trajectory that is only set to continue.
