Fortinet FortiRecon External Attack Surface Monitoring - 1 Year Subscription License Renewal (1–750,000 Monitored Assets)

Fortinet FortiRecon External Attack Surface Monitoring is a cloud-based solution that gives security teams complete visibility into every internet-facing asset your organization exposes. This 1-year subscription renewal covers from 1 up to 750,000 monitored assets, providing continuous discovery, risk assessment, alerting, and remediation workflows. By centralizing external exposure data, FortiRecon helps you shrink the attack surface, accelerate incident response, and support compliance programs. When deployed as part of the Fortinet Security Fabric, FortiRecon integrates seamlessly with your broader security stack to deliver unified visibility, policy enforcement, and faster decision making across your security posture.

• Comprehensive external asset discovery: FortiRecon automatically scans and inventories internet-facing assets across your organization, including domains, IPs, subdomains, cloud resources, and third‑party services. It continuously updates the asset catalog so your team always knows what is exposed externally and can baseline risk accordingly.
• Real-time monitoring with risk scoring: The system analyzes exposure, misconfigurations, and vulnerability data in real time to produce risk scores and actionable alerts. You can tailor severity levels and notification channels to ensure the right people receive timely information for faster remediation.
• Automated change detection and exposure tracking: FortiRecon detects new assets, changes to existing assets, and shifts in exposure. Automated alerts help security operators catch rogue or misconfigured assets before they become attack vectors, reducing dwell time for potential threats.
• Scalability and flexible licensing: Designed to scale from 1 to 750,000 monitored assets, the license supports growing portfolios and dynamic environments. The 1-year renewal model simplifies budgeting, with the option to expand coverage as your footprint expands, all while maintaining tight integration with Fortinet Security Fabric for centralized management.
• Actionable reporting and compliance readiness: Dashboards, executive summaries, and compliance-focused reports convert raw data into meaningful insights. This helps you demonstrate control over external risk, support audits, and drive policy enforcement across teams and regions.
