GreyNoise has powerful product offerings in the form of our ground-breaking Visualizer, APIs, and bulk data.

There are some key differences between a Product feature and a Blueprint.

GreyNoise Products have quality and uptime SLAs. They’ve been refined by a process that starts with ideation, and follows a roadmap all the way through to launch (which is when you get access to all the crunchy goodness we have to offer).

GreyNoise Labs Blueprints are blue-sky efforts, trial ideas, temporary APIs, and other innovations that may or may not end up being as useful as expected to either the community or to customers. These projects can, however, be created quickly, iterated on with no risk to production systems, and be enhanced through a much tigher feedback loop. If we see that these tools, apps, APIs, and data end up being useful, we have a process in place to turn each Blueprint into a full-on Product offering, with all the bells, whistles, and support that come with anything GreyNoise proudly adds to our portfolio.

Some Blueprints will be wide open to all, but most will be behind the same authentication that protects your existing GreyNoise account.

We hope these will be useful and, let be honest, fun for all who are brave enough to live on the edge with us.
