Censys Transforms Global Channel Program to Accelerate Partner-Led Growth

As AI reshapes cybersecurity, Censys is investing in partners to deliver differentiated security solutions powered by real-time Internet intelligence.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Censys, the authority in Internet intelligence and insights, today announced an expanded global Channel Partner Program and significant investments to accelerate its channel-first growth strategy.

As AI enables attackers to operate at greater speed and scale, security teams require real-time Internet context to investigate threats, manage exposures, and modernize security workflows. Built on the world's most comprehensive and accurate map of the Internet, Censys provides actionable, real-time Internet intelligence that gives AI and human defenders the context they need to protect against increasingly automated threats operating across rapidly changing infrastructure. The expanded channel partner program invests in people, platform, and regional support to help partners worldwide deliver these capabilities to their customers and build differentiated security solutions and services.

"AI is changing how organizations build, operate, and defend in cybersecurity, but AI without context is just automation," said Sarah Ashburn, Chief Revenue Officer at Censys. "To make accurate, real-time decisions, AI needs context from both internal systems and across the Internet, and partners are essential to making that a reality."

A Program Built for Partners

The new Censys Channel Partner Program gives partners new ways to innovate, differentiate, drive value, and accelerate growth.

Program highlights include:

• One Global Partner Framework – A worldwide model across Censys' distributor and reseller ecosystem with regional flexibility to support local market needs.
• Partner-Powered Go-to-Market – As a channel-first organization, Censys invests in demand generation, customer programs, and strategic initiatives to accelerate partner-led growth.
• Early Access – Early access to the Censys Internet Intelligence Platform roadmap, AI-driven capabilities, and upcoming innovations to help partners anticipate customer needs and bring differentiated solutions to market.
• The Censys Partner Summit – An invite-only annual partner executive forum focused on emerging threats, customer priorities, product innovation, and the future of Internet intelligence.
• The Internet Intelligence Launchpad – Enablement and SME support to help partners build solutions and deliver greater value to customers with Censys.

The new program builds on strong momentum across the Censys partner ecosystem. More than 100 channel partners across 45 countries support Censys customers worldwide, contributing to 186% year-over-year growth in partner-sourced bookings during the first half of 2026. To support this continued growth, Censys has expanded its global partner GTM organization, including new regional channel account managers to support partners in local markets.

"Most partner programs are built to manage partners. Our program is built to accelerate their success," said Celestine Jahren, Vice President of Strategic Alliances and Channels at Censys. "Our Censys partners have a unique advantage — differentiated Internet intelligence that makes the cybersecurity solutions they already deliver more valuable, while giving them new ways to serve as strategic advisors to their customers and drive value."
