Knownsec

Knownsec protects web assets and cloud infrastructure with AI-enhanced defense, backed by its ZoomEye cyberspace search engine and long-running security research.

Overview

Knownsec is one of China’s veteran security firms, known for its ZoomEye cyberspace mapping engine and cloud-based web defense. Its intelligent cloud protection platform shields websites and APIs from attacks using rules, behavioral analysis, and AI-assisted classification that adapts to novel payloads. Asset discovery and attack-surface management help organizations see what they expose to the internet, and its vulnerability research arm contributes to domestic and international databases. AI capabilities surface in alert classification, attack attribution hints, and report generation for security reviews. For organizations with large web estates, Knownsec’s appeal is protection that scales elastically in the cloud with intelligence about how the Chinese internet is actually attacked. ZoomEye’s scanning infrastructure gives Knownsec a distinctive view of internet-exposed assets and services, which informs both its risk scoring and its customers’ attack-surface remediation priorities. Managed web defense services pair the platform with human analysts who tune protections and respond to novel attacks as customer estates and attacker techniques both evolve.
