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.
Censys
Censys is a cybersecurity company that runs one of the most comprehensive real-time maps of the public internet. Born from the ZMap internet-scanning project at the University of Michigan, its Internet Intelligence Platform scans billions of IP addresses and certificates to power attack surface management, threat hunting, and exposure management. Trusted by more than half of the Fortune 500 and by U.S. intelligence agencies, Censys helps defenders see what attackers can see - unknown assets, exposed services, and adversary infrastructure - so they can find and fix risk before it is exploited.
