Evidence-Based Security Is Just Better Security: How to Accelerate Your Risk Triage and Response

**Executive Summary:** Risk Evidence in Censys ASM supplies human-readable explanations and direct links to the underlying scan data for attack-surface findings, answering why an alert fired and where the supporting evidence is. By translating technical scan outputs into concise, verifiable evidence (e.g., exposed S3 buckets, open database ports, outdated Apache Struts with known CVEs), it aims to reduce false positives, accelerate triage and investigations, and improve collaboration between SOC, threat intel, and infrastructure teams.
