Zakir Durumeric
Zakir Durumeric is a computer security researcher, Stanford assistant professor, and co-founder and CEO of Censys. As a University of Michigan PhD student he built ZMap, a scanner that can survey the entire public IPv4 internet in minutes rather than weeks, then turned that research into Censys, an internet intelligence platform used for threat hunting and exposure management. His work mapping the internet at scale helped expose the reach of vulnerabilities like Heartbleed and earned him a spot on MIT Technology Review's 35 Innovators Under 35.
