Censys has raised a $40 million Series D round led by Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital, alongside existing investors including Decibel Partners, Greylock Partners, GV, and Intel Capital, and complemented the equity with $30 million in debt financing, bringing total new capital to $70 million. The company plans to deploy this funding to accelerate development of AI-driven capabilities on its Internet intelligence platform and to support global expansion in enterprise, government, and critical infrastructure markets.
Management frames the raise as a response to rising cyber risk, with Internet-facing infrastructure now a primary attack vector and adversaries increasingly weaponizing AI, compressing remediation windows for defenders. Founder and CEO Zakir Durumeric said Censys aims to make AI “actionable at global scale” by leveraging what it describes as the most complete, real-time map of Internet infrastructure, a data asset already used by more than 300,000 security practitioners and organizations representing over half of the Fortune 500. Investors highlight Censys’s position as an authoritative source of first-party Internet intelligence and see its strategy—layering AI-driven security operations, exposure management, and threat-hunting workflows on top of its core data platform—as establishing it as foundational in the modern security ecosystem.
