Censys

Enriching OT and IT asset visibility in Nozomi Vantage with external attack surface and exposure data from Censys ASM.

About
Censys

Censys ASM is a cloud-based attack surface management platform providing continuous discovery, inventory and monitoring of internet-facing assets including hosts, certificates and domains. By integrating Censys ASM with Nozomi Vantage, security teams gain a consolidated view of managed assets across IT and OT environments — importing external attack surface and exposure data directly into Vantage. This enriches the asset registry with authoritative data from the Censys management plane, accelerating incident investigation, reducing blind spots in critical infrastructure environments and enabling analysts to correlate asm telemetry with OT network observations without switching consoles.

Features

Importer Data Types

Vantage imports the following from
Censys ASM
:
  • Asset Details Enrichment and Create New in Vantage

    Censys ASM supplies records including external host name, public IP, port and protocol, certificate fingerprint, ASN, geolocation and first-seen / last-seen timestamps — to enrich existing Vantage assets and create new asset records for endpoints not yet observed on the OT network.

  • Asset CPE and CVE Import

    Censys ASM produces CVE findings on internet-exposed services with severity and exploitability context from the Censys Internet Map. These findings are imported into Vantage as CPE-correlated vulnerability records, enabling prioritized remediation tracking within the Nozomi asset context.

Joint Use Cases

  • Correlating Censys signals with OT network alerts

    When Nozomi Vantage raises an anomaly alert for a device inside an OT segment, the analyst can pivot to the same asset's Censys ASM record in Vantage to review exposed services, certificate details and recent observation context, all without leaving the Vantage investigation workflow. This cross-layer correlation surfaces whether a network-layer anomaly coincides with activity observed by Censys, reducing the time needed to confirm or dismiss an incident.

  • Closing asset inventory gaps across IT and OT

    Devices recorded by Censys ASM but not yet observed by Nozomi network sensors are automatically created as new asset records in Vantage, populated with external hostname, public IP, services and certificate metadata drawn from the Censys management plane. OT operations teams can audit the resulting unified inventory to identify unmonitored or underprotected assets in industrial and critical infrastructure zones, then prioritize sensor deployment accordingly.

  • Prioritizing vulnerability remediation on critical OT assets

    CVE findings and severity scores imported from Censys ASM are surfaced alongside Nozomi's OT risk scoring for each asset, allowing security engineers to rank remediation effort by both vulnerability severity and the operational criticality of the affected device. This joint view enables compliance reporting workflows, such as IEC 62443 gap assessments, to reference both network-observed risk and Censys-confirmed vulnerability data from a single Vantage dashboard.

Integration Prerequesites

  • Active Nozomi Vantage tenant with the connector-configuration role assigned to the administering account
  • Censys ASM workspace covering the organisation's seeds with an API ID and secret issued under Account → API
  • Censys ASM module or license that produces per-asset CVE findings enabled in the source tenant
  • Consistent hostname, IP or MAC addressing between Censys ASM-recorded assets and Vantage-observed assets to enable accurate asset correlation and deduplication
  • Outbound network connectivity from Vantage to the source-tool API endpoint over HTTPS (this prerequisite is a deployment placeholder and may be adjusted to match your environment)
