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.

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.
