Recon Detection
You already map your attack surface — this add-on tells you when someone is actively casing it. Fewer surprises before incidents, faster triage when interest spikes, and a clearer story for leadership and third parties because every alert is tied to explainable evidence.
What it means for you
Not another log dump — a deliberate layer on the same external scope you already trust for EASM.
Earlier signal. Scanning and enumeration often show up before exploitation. When recon lights up against domains and assets you already monitor for exposure, your team can harden, watch, or brief stakeholders — instead of learning only from a breach headline.
Less noise, more defensibility. Detections follow clear rules and ship with evidence you can show in a ticket, a war room, or an audit — not a black-box score you have to apologise for.
Same programme, deeper picture. Recon sits beside drift and exposure in one workflow: your analysts see probes in context instead of switching tools or reconciling spreadsheets.
When someone’s probing, what do you do?
Nothing magical — you respond the way good teams already respond. The difference is you see it against your real surface, with evidence you can stand behind.
Harden and reprioritise. Interest clusters on specific hosts, paths, or services. You push fixes, tighten controls, or close accidental exposure where it matters — because you know *what* was touched, not just that “something happened on the internet.”
Watch and escalate in proportion. Not every probe deserves a war room. You decide when to intensify monitoring or pull in incident response based on severity, repetition, and what else you know about the asset — using the same detection package to justify the call.
Brief stakeholders with proof. Risk, executives, insurers, and boards ask “did we know?” With explainable alerts and timestamps, you can show *what you saw*, *what you did*, and *why* — without inventing a story after the fact.
The Recon Blind Spot
Attack surface tools often tell you what you have — but not who is actively looking at it. Reconnaissance precedes most breaches; visibility into probing and enumeration helps you prioritise and respond.
Probing Before Breach
Scanning and enumeration against your scope are leading indicators of interest. Without detection, you only notice after an incident.
Noise vs. Signal
Raw logs and generic alerts create fatigue. You need rule-based, explainable detections tied to your in-scope assets.
Audit and Evidence
Demonstrating that you monitored recon activity strengthens defensibility and incident narratives for legal and regulatory review.
What you get
Concrete outcomes your SOC, assurance owners, and executives can recognise — not a shelf-ware feature list.
Probes tied to your surface
Activity is reasoned against the assets and domains you already hold in scope — so alerts mean something for your organisation, not the whole internet.
Rules you can stand behind
Deterministic rules and transparent logic — repeatable outcomes your team can review with us over time and explain under scrutiny.
Evidence in every detection
Severity, what triggered the rule, timestamps, and suggested next steps — so prioritisation and reporting don’t depend on tribal knowledge.
Where you already work
High-signal summaries in the Intelligence Hub; full timelines, detections, and drill-down on the Recon Detection view — same login, same programme.
How you add Recon Detection
No mystery procurement path — tell us early, and we bake it into your proposal when it’s the right fit.
Raise it on demo or with sales
Book a demo or contact sales and say you want reconnaissance visibility. We’ll confirm how your external scope and data sources (e.g. edge logs, sensors) line up with what we can operationalise.
We scope it in your quote
If it’s a fit, Recon Detection is called out in your commercial proposal — coverage, volumes, and how it complements your EASM and monitoring — so procurement and security share one picture.
Go-live with your rollout
When you become a customer, we align ingestion and workspaces as part of onboarding. Your analysts start seeing detections and alerts without a separate “recon project.”
Run it as part of daily assurance
Triaging probes sits next to exposure and drift: one narrative for leadership — who’s interested in our surface, what we did about it, and what we can prove.
Who It’s For
Security and risk teams that want to know when their surface is under active reconnaissance
Security Operations
Prioritise hardening and response using recon activity alongside drift and exposure findings.
Multi-workspace orgs
MSP and complex structures: carve recon visibility by client or business unit so each team sees probes against their own surface — without leaking context across units.
Compliance & Legal
Timestamped recon events and explainable evidence support incident review and audit narratives.
