Threat recon FAQs
In cyber security, threat reconnaissance is the process of collecting, analyzing, and reporting on information about cyber threats that could put your organisation at risk. This will usually involve gathering data from multiple sources to identify threats that are currently happening, or to highlight issues that may be a risk in the future.
Our threat recon tools provide scanning for multiple domains as part of the Defense.com™ platform.
