Fortinet FortiRecon External Attack Surface Monitoring — 5-Year Subscription License Renewal

Fortinet FortiRecon External Attack Surface Monitoring delivers ongoing visibility into every internet-facing asset, empowering security teams to discover, assess, and secure the full external footprint of an organization. This 5-year subscription license renewal covers 1 to 1,000,000 monitored assets, offering scalable, cloud-native monitoring that continuously maps external exposure, identifies misconfigurations, tracks changes in surface area, and prioritizes remediation based on risk. With FortiRecon, your external attack surface becomes a managed, measurable risk domain rather than an opaque unknown, enabling faster threat detection, stronger governance, and practical guidance for secure digital expansion.

• Comprehensive asset discovery and inventory for the external surface. FortiRecon automatically scans and inventories all internet-facing assets—domains, IPs, services, and cloud-facing endpoints—across your perimeter. This relentless discovery ensures no asset goes unseen, including shadow IT and newly added endpoints, so your security teams can prioritize coverage and allocate resources where they matter most. Continuous inventory visibility supports accurate asset-based risk scoring, change tracking, and compliance reporting, reducing blind spots that attackers commonly exploit.
• Real-time exposure monitoring with prioritized risk scoring. The solution continuously monitors exposure across your external footprint and applies risk-based scoring to highlight the items that pose the highest threat. By correlating asset criticality, configuration missteps, known CVEs, and threat intelligence, FortiRecon helps security operations quickly triage alerts, allocate remediation efforts, and shorten mean time to remediation (MTTR). This dynamic prioritization keeps teams focused on actionable risks rather than noise.
• Threat intelligence integration and proactive alerting for rapid response. FortiRecon absorbs threat intelligence feeds and aligns findings with current attacker TTPs (tactics, techniques, and procedures). You’ll receive timely alerts when new exposures emerge or when an asset’s risk posture worsens, enabling proactive containment, rapid containment, and accelerated incident response. The integration with Fortinet Security Fabric enhances cross-domain collaboration, ensuring external risk data complements internal security controls.
• Actionable remediation guidance and policy enforcement. Beyond identifying risks, FortiRecon provides step-by-step remediation guidance, best-practice configurations, and policy recommendations tailored to your environment. This actionable guidance reduces guesswork, accelerates remediation, and helps maintain secure baselines across perimeter services, cloud workloads, and third-party interfaces. The system supports governance workflows, making it easier to document fixes for audits and compliance reviews.
• Scalability, licensing flexibility, and predictable total cost of ownership. The 1 to 1,000,000 monitored asset range is designed to scale with growing organizations and complex external footprints. With a 5-year renewal, you gain long-term visibility, consistent licensing terms, and stable budgeting. FortiRecon’s cloud-based architecture minimizes on-premise overhead while delivering consistent performance, centralized visibility, and seamless updates supported by Fortinet’s security ecosystem.
