The new partnership expands regional access to the Censys Platform, arming enterprises, government entities, and critical infrastructure operators with elite threat hunting and exposure management tools.
Censys, the leading authority on Internet intelligence and insights, has officially announced a strategic distribution partnership with EVAD. This alliance is set to significantly expand the footprint of the Censys Platform across the Middle East and Africa (MEA), bringing advanced Internet intelligence, targeted threat hunting, and external attack surface management to the region’s rapidly digitizing markets.
Organizations across key regional hubs – including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain – will now be able to access Censys through EVAD’s robust partner ecosystem. EVAD will provide end-to-end support, from initial evaluation through active deployment, backed by its in-market commercial support and deep regional technical expertise.
As digital footprints rapidly expand across cloud environments, third-party vendors, remote services, and critical subsidiaries, securing the perimeter has never been more complex. The Censys Platform solves this by injecting continuous, actionable Internet intelligence directly into the security tools and workflows that teams already use. By supplying continuously updated data on Internet infrastructure, active exposures, and threat contexts, Censys empowers Security Operations Centers (SOC) to triage alerts, investigate anomalies, and defend their networks with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
Industry leaders from both organizations emphasize that closing the visibility gap is critical for the region’s cyber resilience.
“Organizations across the Middle East and Africa are investing heavily in digital infrastructure, but many security teams still lack the external Internet intelligence needed to make fast, accurate decisions during security operations,” said Meriam ElOuazzani, Vice President, Middle East, Turkey and Africa at Censys. “Censys Platform helps close that gap by enriching the workflows teams already rely on with the data they need to triage alerts, investigate threats, hunt across the public Internet, and defend with greater confidence. Partnering with EVAD allows us to bring that capability to more organizations across the region through a trusted local partner with deep market knowledge.”
Abdullah A. Qaisi, CEO of EVAD, highlighted the urgency of adapting to expanding attack surfaces:
“The external data gap has become one of the most critical and underserved areas of cybersecurity for organizations across our region. Enterprises, government entities, and critical infrastructure operators are expanding their digital footprint faster than many security teams can track. Censys gives them a continuously updated view of what is exposed on the Internet and the context needed to act before exposure becomes impact. We are proud to bring this capability to the MEA market and support customers in building more proactive, intelligence-led security programs.”
To ensure security teams can operationalize this intelligence without upending their current processes, Censys features native integrations with widely adopted cybersecurity tools. By plugging directly into platforms like Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, CrowdStrike, and ServiceNow, organizations can instantly weave Internet intelligence into their existing vulnerability management and incident response frameworks.
Together, Censys and EVAD are positioned to accelerate the adoption of intelligence-led security operations, meeting the growing MEA demand for uncompromising external visibility and proactive threat management.
