Continuous attack surface monitoring has improved risk visibility and protected our brand
Fortinet FortiRecon will benefit from stronger bi-directional integration with other tools such as SIEM and XDR from companies like Cisco, Checkpoint, and Palo Alto Networks. Fortinet FortiRecon needs improvement with integration with vulnerability management platforms, for example, Tenable, Qualys, SIEM, SOAR systems, and endpoint detection platforms. While it provides strong external visibility, tighter orchestration and automated remediation workflows can enhance operational efficiency and reduce manual coordination between teams. Improved reporting customization and risk scoring transparency would also benefit executive-level reporting and prioritization. External attack surface monitoring is no longer optional in a modern enterprise, and it is essential from my professional perspective. When integrated into governance, vulnerability management, and SOC workflows, Fortinet FortiRecon enables proactive risk reduction by identifying exposed assets, brand abuse, and leaked credentials. However, Fortinet FortiRecon could improve in terms of deeper integration, automation, and correlation with internal security controls and vulnerability management platforms.

Broad protection, good stability, fast support, and reasonable pricing
It is in the early stage of innovation, but it has been developing constantly and rapidly. The room for improvements for this kind of solution is basically in terms of mapping between multiple resources. For example, if a fraudster or scammer is using Instagram to track potential customers of an organization, he might also use fraudulent resources of a website, mobile application, or instant messenger as a part of an elaborate scheme. Group-IB is working on mapping such related fraud resources so that they can see the whole pattern and then track the fraudster or scammer conducting the scheme. They could also improve the Risk Scoring Engine. Whenever any resource comes up in the monitoring section, there is an engine to score whether it is a high risk, low risk, or no risk, or whether it is legal for the customer. This part could be improved because different channels require different mechanisms for scoring the risk. On the website, it can score a risk easily, but for social media and instant messenger, some things need to be adjusted. It is not similar to monitoring a website.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The access to information and the overall integration of many tools in one platform make Fortinet FortiRecon a comprehensive tool for overall cybersecurity improvements in our IT equipment."
"Brand protection is very useful for identifying password leakage, duplicate applications, proxy applications in the name of our company, and protecting forged websites, phishing URLs, and duplicate URLs, among many more."
"Fortinet FortiRecon's best feature is external attack surface monitoring, which is no longer optional in a modern enterprise."
"It provides the broadest protection covering websites, marketplace, advertising, and social media, which includes Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. They also offer mobile application monitoring and enforcement not only in the Google Play store but also in the Apple store. They can monitor and enforce the distribution of mobile applications, any kind of app website such as Android apk.com, and a lot of other custom stuff. To be able to customize and specify the platforms that need to be monitored and enforced is something that our clients find most valuable."
 

Cons

"Fortinet FortiRecon will benefit from stronger bi-directional integration with other tools such as SIEM and XDR from companies like Cisco, Checkpoint, and Palo Alto Networks."
"Engaging the support team with Fortinet FortiRecon takes more time than expected."
"It is in the early stage of innovation, but it has been developing constantly in a major fashion. The room for improvements for this kind of solution is basically in terms of mapping between multiple resources.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"At the moment, its pricing is very reasonable for the whole work that Group-IB is doing for the banks. We can easily calculate the return on investment based on that pricing because the number of resources that need to be taken down would reach up to thousands within months. Its pricing is very reasonable for this kind of work. There is no hidden fee. It is subscription-based. There are different packages that are based on a limited or unlimited number of takedowns. It is very simple with no hidden fees."
