What is FortiRecon?

FortiRecon is Fortinet’s threat exposure management solution. It helps enterprises move from reactive to a proactive, programmatic, and framework-based approach to exposure management and vulnerability assessment. 

How FortiRecon Helps Streamline Your Continuous Exposure Management Programme

FortiRecon helps prevent attacks even before they are launched, by:

  • Uncovering blind spots in your internal and external attack surfaces, from the viewpoint of an adversary, and providing detailed real-time insights into tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) employed by threat actors
  • Prioritising the vulnerabilities that are at highest risk of exploitation and validating them with offensive tactics 
  • Combining disparate solutions into a single pane of glass that can be used to effectively orchestrate security

Attack Surface Management

The FortiRecon Attack Surface Management module continuously monitors and delivers an adversary’s view of the organisation’s internal and external digital attack surfaces, and prioritises risks and exposures. This enables security teams to proactively mitigate threats before they become an attack.

Adversary Centric Intelligence

The FortiRecon Adversary Centric Intelligence (ACI) module provides comprehensive coverage of dark web, open source, and technical threat intelligence. The intel includes ransomware intelligence, leaked credentials and card fraud, vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild, supply chain/vendor risk assessments, and threat actor insights. This helps security professionals proactively assess risks, respond faster to incidents, and increase the security awareness of their staff. 

Brand Protection

FortiRecon Brand Protection uses proprietary algorithms to monitor, detect, and take down fake domains impersonating real ones. It also helps identify brand and executive impersonations, rogue mobile applications on multiple app stores, data leaks in code repositories, open bucket exposures, phishing campaigns, and helps protect executive online presence.
