Proactive monitoring has reduced our exposed attack surface and saves many investigation hours
The best features of Fortinet FortiRecon include the dark web monitoring, which is the standout for me. Getting alerts when company credentials or data show up on dark web forums is genuinely valuable, and that is not something you can do manually. The brand protection side is also solid, as it picks up on phishing domains impersonating us quickly. Additionally, the attack surface discovery is good because it finds assets we did not even know were exposed. Fortinet FortiRecon has helped us reduce our exposed attack surface. We identified and took down or secured approximately 15 assets.

Security Specialty at a tech company with 10,001+ employees
Great at showcasing vulnerabilities, excellent at providing alerts, and offers very good technical support
You need to know how to work with your assets and put the right items in place. The solution still has false positives, The solution is pretty expensive :O) We did have a few bugs in the beginning, when we first used the solution. However, those have since been resolved. I would like it if there was more visibility and insights about what's going on with ransomware all over the internet. IntSights is not 100% following the critical ransomware and the critical items over the internet. However, everyone is afraid to get hit by ransomware. They are not there yet in terms of really covering that style of attack. I'd like to see more from them.
