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.

Centralized threat intelligence has improved our visibility and accelerated incident response
You can find out new threats and security incidents with SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence. You can see the new vulnerabilities when you are using your products. This is very useful. SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence has improved security in my organization, but there are some problems. Sometimes there are too many alarms, which can become quite tiring. We have a lot of information infrastructures, and SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence has improved our security, but we do experience some alert fatigue. There are a lot of web servers. We also integrated SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence with the SIEM. We can see together, and we can see all of the threats and new threats, especially. If you integrate all internal sources, IP addresses, and services to SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence, you can view all of the sources together in a single monitor and area. You can also view all the tickets and vulnerabilities and threats. This is very useful.
