Censys Inc. in Ann Arbor, an internet intelligence platform for threat hunting and attack surface management, has announced its work providing critical technology to national security agencies has fueled more than 2.5 times year-over-year growth in federal-specific annual recurring revenue.
The growth (253.75 percent) is driven by Censys’s work with federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, United States Cyber Command, the Department for Education, and others.
“Our recent momentum in the federal space serves as a testament to Censys’ ability to assist agencies and their partners in their mission to protect the nation’s attack surface by providing them with unparalleled visibility into internet-facing assets,” says Brad Brooks, CEO of Censys.
“Often, government agencies are responsible for managing large, complex networks. Without full visibility into their digital footprints, they risk overlooking hidden threats which can pose tremendous risks to national security.”
As a result of Censys’ continued growth in the federal market, the company is expanding its footprint and opening a new office in the Washington, D.C. metro area on Nov. 1, 2024.
Within the last 12 months, Censys also expanded its involvement with the U.S. government and military branches through:
- Portfolio growth of agencies served — Since October 1, 2023, Censys has increased the number of agencies served by approximately 43 percent.
- Expanding channel partner program — Censys announced the growth of its channel partner program, including a strategic partnership with RavenTek, a top provider of leading-edge digital and cyber solutions to mission-critical organizations. Through the partnership, Censys and RavenTek closed significant business deals with several government agencies, including those with the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and several intelligence agencies.
- Participation in the U.S. Army’s Cyber Quest ’24 Exercise — During Cyber Quest ’24, an annual data-centric experiment hosted by the U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence and the Army Futures Command Cyber Battle Laboratory, to assess new technologies against documented Cyberspace, Electronic Warfare (EW), Information Advantage, and Signal operational requirements. At Army Cyber Quest 2024, Censys provided the U.S. Army with its state-of-the-art ASM platform to enhance the capabilities of modern military operations.
Censys, founded in 2017, has a customer base that includes Google, Cisco, Microsoft, Samsung, Swiss Armed Forces, and more than 50 percent of Fortune 500 companies.
