Internet intelligence provider Censys on Tuesday announced raising $70 million in strategic funding.
The investment includes a $40 million Series D equity round led by Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital, with participation from Decibel Partners, Greylock Partners, GV, and Intel Capital, plus $30 million in debt financing.
With this round, Censys has raised more than $149 million in total venture capital funding. The latest capital will support product innovation and global expansion built on the company’s recently launched internet intelligence platform.
Censys offers a comprehensive and continuously updated global map of internet infrastructure. The platform provides the visibility that security and threat intelligence teams rely on to manage exposure and respond to risks.
Core capabilities focus on attack surface management, enabling organizations to discover, monitor, and prioritize risks across their internet-facing assets in real time. This helps reduce overall exposure in an environment where internet infrastructure can serve as a primary attack vector.
The Censys offering also includes threat hunting and proactive incident response, enabling teams to track threats, defend exposures, and protect critical assets more effectively.
“AI is transforming every aspect of security operations, but its ultimate success will be fundamentally shaped by the quality and timeliness of the data available to it,” said Zakir Durumeric, founder and CEO of Censys.
“Censys is positioned to drive this transformation with our leading intelligence to make AI actionable at global scale. This investment will enable faster innovation and global expansion,” Durumeric added.
