Censys

Integrate Censys with Torq to trigger workflows from collection events and automate attack surface monitoring and threat hunting.

Censys is an internet intelligence platform that provides continuous visibility into hosts, certificates, and web properties across the internet, enabling security teams to investigate exposed assets, track adversary infrastructure, and monitor their external attack surface. Censys Attack Surface Management (ASM) automatically discovers and attributes an organization's internet-facing assets - including shadow IT, cloud resources, and subsidiary infrastructure - and surfaces risks such as misconfigurations and vulnerabilities for prioritized remediation.

Torq enables quick and easy integration with Censys, so you can automate anything and everything in moments. Torq's pre-built Censys steps include:

  • List Collections

  • Run a Search Query

  • Get a Certificate

  • Get a Collection

  • Create a Comment

  • Create a Tag

  • Retrieve Multiple Certificates

  • Get Host Enrichment

  • Get Organization Credit Balance

  • Run a Search Query Within a Collection

  • +17 more...

If you don't see a step you need, you can create your own in various ways, such as using the Send an HTTP Request step or Torq's Step Builder, and share it across your organization.
