Fortinet FortiRecon External Attack Surface Monitoring – Brand Protect & Adversary Centric Intelligence (3-Year Renewal, Up to 500,000 Assets)

Protecting your organization starts with seeing what others don’t: the external edges of your digital footprint. Fortinet FortiRecon External Attack Surface Monitoring delivers a comprehensive, proactive approach to discovering and securing internet-facing assets, safeguarding your brand, and arming your security team with adversary-centric intelligence. This subscription license renewal is built for large-scale deployments, offering coverage for up to 500,000 monitored assets over a robust 3-year period. By combining visibility, threat intelligence, and brand defense into one cohesive platform, FortiRecon empowers security teams to identify risks before they become incidents, streamline investigations, and accelerate response across your entire attack surface.

• Extensive external asset discovery and continuous monitoring. FortiRecon automatically scans and inventories your public-facing assets—domains, subdomains, IPs, and cloud endpoints—across your attack surface. With ongoing visibility, your security team gains a real-time, centralized view of what exists outside your corporate perimeter, including shadow IT, unmanaged devices, and newly exposed services. This level of discovery is essential for accurate risk scoring and prioritization, ensuring you allocate defenses where they will have the most impact. By continuously monitoring for changes, misconfigurations, and exposures, FortiRecon helps prevent blind spots that attackers often exploit during the earliest stages of a campaign.
• Brand Protect to defend your reputation and integrity. The Brand Protect capability monitors for brand abuse, domain spoofing, typosquatting, social media impersonation, and other brand-related attack surfaces. It alerts you to impersonation attempts, fraudulent domains, and unauthorized usage of your trademarks, giving your brand and executive teams rapid situational awareness. This proactive brand protection helps reduce reputational risk, customer confusion, and potential financial loss, while enabling swift takedown workflows and brand governance across multiple regions and languages.
• Adversary Centric Intelligence for faster, smarter responses. FortiRecon translates raw threat data into actionable intelligence focused on real adversaries targeting your organization. By correlating external asset discoveries with threat intel, employee risk profiles, and recent attack patterns, you receive targeted alerts and prioritized incident indicators. This adversary-centric approach accelerates detection, informs threat hunting, and improves response times by aligning resources with the tactics, techniques, and procedures used by actual attackers. With intelligence tailored to your environment, security teams can pre-empt campaigns and disrupt adversary progress before critical assets are compromised.
• Scale up to 500,000 assets with a 3-year license renewal. The solution is designed for mid-market to enterprise deployments, delivering scalable coverage for up to half a million assets under a three-year subscription. This licensing model helps organizations plan budgets with long-term predictability, reduce renewal complexity, and maintain consistent protection across diverse assets and environments. The generous asset threshold makes FortiRecon suitable for global organizations with distributed workforces, multi-cloud footprints, and expansive contractor ecosystems, ensuring that growth doesn't outpace your security controls.
• Seamless integration with Fortinet Security Fabric and beyond. FortiRecon is designed to complement and extend your existing security stack. It integrates with Fortinet Security Fabric to share insights with other Fortinet products, enabling coordinated defense across endpoints, networks, and cloud environments. For teams using third-party tools, FortiRecon can feed risk signals into SIEMs, ticketing systems, and incident response playbooks, helping you streamline detection, triage, and remediation workflows. This integration capability enhances visibility, reduces toil, and accelerates the organization’s overall security MTTD/MTTR metrics.

How to install Fortinet FortiRecon External Attack Surface Monitoring

Installing FortiRecon is designed to be straightforward for organizations already leveraging Fortinet’s security ecosystem. The installation path emphasizes rapid deployment, scalable asset onboarding, and clear operational governance so teams can realize value quickly and maintain protection as the environment evolves.

• Verify prerequisites and license eligibility: Confirm you have a valid FortiRecon subscription renewal, and ensure your deployment environment meets minimum requirements for asset volume (up to 500,000 assets) and regional compliance needs. Prepare administrative credentials for FortiGate/FortiGuard integration and gather the list of external assets to be onboarded.
• Access and connectivity setup: Connect FortiRecon to your Fortinet Security Fabric (if already deployed) or configure the standalone management interface. Establish secure communication channels, confirm time synchronization, and enable necessary logging and telemetry to support ongoing monitoring and auditing.
• Asset onboarding and configuration: Import or auto-discover external assets, define asset groups, and categorize assets by criticality, ownership, or business function. Set up asset baselines, risk scoring parameters, and scanning frequencies that align with your risk appetite. Validate asset coverage to ensure no critical surface is overlooked.
• Brand Protect and adversary intelligence configuration: Enable Brand Protect monitoring for domains, brands, and impersonation indicators. Activate Adversary Centric Intelligence rules and threat feeds relevant to your sector. Configure alert thresholds, escalation paths, and integration points with your incident response tooling.
• Validation, dashboards, and ongoing governance: Run a validation pass to confirm dashboards reflect accurate asset status and risk indicators. Train stakeholders on interpreting risk scores and alerts, and establish a change-control process for ongoing asset additions, transformations, and decommissioning. Schedule regular reviews to ensure continued coverage and alignment with policy requirements.
