Rapid ARR growth Censys reported a 400% increase in customers with more than $1M in annual recurring revenue in H1 2026, plus 186% growth in partner-sourced bookings. This signals expanding enterprise demand and strong upsell potential for security analytics, threat intelligence, and exposure management offerings.
