Raising the Bar on Internet Coverage: Predictive Scanning Takes The Censys Internet Map to the Next Level

Censys presents its 2023 Internet Map and a new Predictive Scanning feature that extends continuous scanning and visibility across all ~65,000 ports, revealing that roughly 7 in 10 HTTP services (and over 60% of all internet services) run on non-standard ports; the report highlights gaps in traditional scanners, the security risks posed by IoT devices and small Autonomous Systems running services on high ports, and the operational benefits for external attack surface management and threat hunting.
