Fortinet FortiRecon External Attack Surface Monitoring with Brand Protect & Adversary Centric Intelligence — 3-Year Renewal

Fortinet FortiRecon External Attack Surface Monitoring is a proactive, enterprise-grade service designed to give security teams crystal-clear visibility into every exposed resource outside your corporate perimeter. With a 3-year subscription renewal and support for up to 1,000,000 monitored assets, FortiRecon combines external footprint discovery, continuous monitoring, brand protection, and adversary-centric intelligence into one scalable platform. This solution helps organizations identify misconfigurations, shadow IT, rogue domains, and evolving exposure before attackers can exploit them, while also safeguarding brand integrity and delivering actionable threat context for faster, smarter response.

• Comprehensive External Attack Surface Monitoring — FortiRecon scans and continuously inventories all publicly accessible assets associated with your organization, including domains, IPs, cloud resources, subdomains, and third-party integrations. It maps changes in real time, flags new exposures, and assesses risk levels so security teams can prioritize remediation efforts, reduce attack windows, and maintain an accurate, up-to-date picture of the external landscape. This holistic monitoring reduces blind spots that often arise from disparate tools and manual processes, enabling a unified, proactive defense posture.
• Brand Protect for Online Reputation — In today’s digital ecosystem, brand abuse can spark customer trust issues and regulatory concerns. FortiRecon’s Brand Protect module tracks brand usage across the internet, monitors for typosquats, impersonation, counterfeit sites, and domain registrations that could mislead customers. When anomalies are detected, you receive timely alerts and guided actions to mitigate risk—ranging from domain takedowns to policy enforcement—helping preserve brand integrity and customer confidence.
• Adversary Centric Intelligence — Beyond surface visibility, FortiRecon delivers adversary-centric threat intelligence designed to illuminate attacker intent and capabilities as they relate to your external surface. You gain context on techniques, tactics, and procedures (TTPs) used by real-world actors, paired with indicators of compromise and proactive recommendations. This intelligence supports risk scoring, alert prioritization, and playbooks that empower teams to anticipate, disrupt, and deter adversaries before they strike.
• Scalable 1 Million Asset Coverage — For large organizations with complex and growing footprints, FortiRecon supports monitoring up to one million assets under a single license. The scalable architecture ensures broad visibility without license fragmentation or gaps, and it accommodates expansion as new domains, cloud assets, or partner integrations come online. The result is a more complete risk profile and a smoother path to long-term security maturity.
• 3-Year Renewal and Simplified Licensing — The subscription license renewal provides long-term continuity, budget predictability, and streamlined administration. A three-year term secures ongoing access to threat intelligence updates, platform enhancements, and support, while reducing the frequency of renewal cycles. This arrangement helps security teams plan and execute strategic improvements without recurring licensing friction.
