• Comprehensive external asset discovery and continuous monitoring: FortiRecon automatically maps every asset reachable from the public internet—IP addresses, domains, cloud-hosted resources, and shadow IT—and maintains an up-to-date inventory. It continuously scans for exposures, misconfigurations, open ports, and risky services, assigning contextual risk scores so your team can prioritize action. Real-time alerts, customizable dashboards, and exportable reports ensure you can track changes over time and communicate risk clearly across stakeholders.

This flexible model supports dynamic environments, including on-prem, cloud, and evolving domain ownership, without forcing unnecessary overages. You can adjust scope as needed to maximize efficiency while preserving comprehensive visibility into your external surface.
• Actionable insights and prioritized remediation: FortiRecon translates detections into clear, actionable guidance. Each asset is accompanied by a concise risk narrative, precise misconfigurations, exposed services, and recommended remediation steps. With robust filtering and prioritization, security teams can triage effectively, measure remediation progress, and demonstrate risk reduction through trend analytics and executive‑level reporting.
• Seamless integration and workflow automation: FortiRecon is designed to slot into existing security operations. It offers API access, data exports, and connectors to SIEMs and ticketing systems, enabling automated alerting, incident creation, and remediation orchestration. Integrations help you embed external surface findings into SOC playbooks, accelerate response times, and streamline risk reduction across the entire external footprint.
