FAQs
What is Recon Scan?
Recon Scan is an attack surface monitor and continuous external vulnerability assessment service. It scans your internet-facing systems to identify, monitor, and report security vulnerabilities in real time.
What is Attack Surface Monitoring?
Attack Surface Monitoring (ASM) is the continual process of discovering, scanning, and assessing all external-facing assets, such as websites, APIs, and cloud services, to identify vulnerabilities and potential entry points. It helps reduce exposure and strengthen defences against cyber attacks.
Why should I monitor my attack surface?
Monitoring your attack surface helps identify exposed assets, vulnerabilities, and potential entry points in real time. By continuously assessing your external-facing systems, you can proactively address security risks and reduce exposure to cyber threats.
How does Recon Scan use AI to generate recommendations?
Unlike static tools or manual patching, the AI within Recon Scan reviews each vulnerability in context and pulls from past incidents and best practices to give you specific, step-by-step guidance that’s tailored to your environment.
This means faster remediation, fewer security gaps, and a stronger, more resilient system.
How does Recon Scan keep me safe?
By identifying and addressing risks proactively, Recon Scan reduces your exposure to cyber attacks and strengthens your overall security posture.
Not monitoring your attack surface leaves you vulnerable to undetected threats, misconfigurations, and exposed assets. Attackers can exploit these weaknesses, leading to data breaches, financial losses, reputational damage, and compliance issues.
How does Recon Scan differ from penetration testing?
Unlike penetration testing, which occurs at a specific point in time, Recon Scan monitors for potential threats to your security throughout the year, alerting you to risks as they arise.
This proactive approach helps ensure that potential entry points in your attack surface are addressed quickly and exposed data is secured, reducing the likelihood of a successful attack.
What types of vulnerabilities does Recon Scan detect?
Recon Scan identifies a wide range of vulnerabilities, including critical web application flaws, network misconfigurations, outdated software, and unpatched services.
How is Recon Scan data reported?
All findings are presented in an easy-to-use dashboard, complete with risk ratings, prioritisation guidance, and remediation recommendations. As a HackRisk customer, you’ll also receive a HackRisk Report detailing our findings.
Does Recon Scan help with compliance?
Yes. Recon Scan can support organisations in meeting regulatory standards such as ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, GDPR, and PCI-DSS by providing documented evidence of continuous monitoring and vulnerability management.
