GreyNoise Intelligence, a leading cybersecurity company specializing in perimeter threat intelligence, has launched the GreyNoise Global Observation Grid, the world’s largest and most advanced sensor network monitoring global attack traffic. The new grid comprises 5,000 sensors across 80 countries, processing over half a billion sessions daily to provide organizations with unparalleled, real-time insights into internet scanning and exploitation activities.
“Even with substantial investments in network security, organizations continue to struggle with managing perimeter risks,” said Andrew Morris, Founder and Chief Architect at GreyNoise. “Automated scanning and exploitation create overwhelming volumes of security logs, making it harder for defenders to identify real threats. The Global Observation Grid delivers precise, actionable intelligence to solve this signal-to-noise problem.”

Escalating Internet Scanning and Exploitation Threats
The rise of automated reconnaissance has become a significant threat for enterprises and government agencies. GreyNoise data indicates that unsolicited internet scanning has increased dramatically between 2022 and 2025. Attackers are now exploiting vulnerabilities in edge devices within hours of disclosure, compared to days or weeks in the past.
Highlights from the GreyNoise 2025 Mass Internet Exploitation Report:
Most exploited vulnerability (2024): Targeted home internet routers, creating hidden botnets for widespread attacks.
Resurgent vulnerabilities: Around 40% of exploited vulnerabilities in 2024 were from 2020 or earlier, with some dating back to the 1990s, showing persistent gaps in patching.
Mobile threats rising: May 2024 saw a spike involving over 12,000 hacked Android devices, underscoring the growing mobile attack surface.

“More than half of major breaches in recent years stemmed from network-based attacks,” said Ash Devata, CEO of GreyNoise Intelligence. “With the Global Observation Grid, we provide organizations with the most actionable threat intelligence to manage their external attack surfaces effectively. Our expanded architecture offers real-time, verifiable insights into attacker activities, helping security teams prioritize critical vulnerabilities, enhance SOC performance, and prevent exploitation attempts.”
Inside the Global Observation Grid
GreyNoise’s platform emulates thousands of edge device profiles using a widespread network of deception sensors. Unlike conventional threat intelligence providers that aggregate feeds from various sources, GreyNoise gathers intelligence directly from real-time interactions between attackers and its sensors. This approach ensures that defenders receive accurate, timely, and verifiable data to respond confidently to genuine threats targeting their networks.
