Shodan

Discover internet-exposed assets and close visibility gaps in your inventory.

Shodan is a specialized search engine that continuously scans and indexes internet-connected devices and services, exposing the external attack surface of organizations worldwide. Security and IT teams use Shodan to discover unmanaged or misconfigured assets that are inadvertently exposed to the internet. Connecting Shodan to Oomnitza enriches your asset inventory with external exposure data, enabling security teams to identify shadow IT, close inventory gaps, and remediate vulnerabilities in managed and unmanaged devices.

Connect Oomnitza + Shodan in minutes

Integrating Shodan with Oomnitza imports internet-facing device and service discovery data into your asset management platform, allowing IT and security teams to compare Shodan findings against the known asset inventory and identify exposure risks. Assets discovered by Shodan but absent from Oomnitza are flagged automatically for investigation and remediation.

Key integration use cases:

• Automatically import Shodan device discovery data into Oomnitza to surface unknown or unmanaged assets.
• Cross-reference Shodan internet-exposed assets against Oomnitza inventory to identify shadow IT.
• Flag assets discovered by Shodan that are missing from the Oomnitza managed device registry.
• Populate Oomnitza asset records with Shodan-detected open ports, services, and banner information.
• Trigger security review workflows in Oomnitza when Shodan surfaces a new internet-exposed device.
• Track remediation progress for Shodan-flagged assets directly within Oomnitza asset records.
• Correlate Shodan vulnerability findings with asset ownership and responsible team data in Oomnitza.
• Monitor changes in the external attack surface over time by syncing Shodan scans into Oomnitza.
• Generate external exposure reports combining Shodan discovery data with Oomnitza asset lifecycle status.
• Identify end-of-life or unpatched devices in Oomnitza that appear in Shodan scans for priority remediation.
