About Recorded Future

Recorded Future is a threat intelligence company that sells real-time intelligence and autonomous defense. Recorded Future describes its portfolio as made up of four solutions, one for each domain attackers target. Recorded Future uses the Intelligence Graph to index data from over a million sources, including the open web, dark web, technical feeds, and customer telemetry. Recorded Future states that the Intelligence Graph is accessible via API and powers nine specialized products.^[3][4][5]

The Intelligence Graph connects data points using an ontology graph for stable information and an event graph for rapidly changing threat data. Recorded Future applies analytics such as Recorded Future Risk Scores to the data in the Intelligence Graph. Recorded Future Threat Intelligence provides detailed profiles of the threat actors currently attacking similar organizations and the techniques and tools they use. Recorded Future provides pre-built hunting packages that include YARA, Snort, and Sigma rules written and tested by its Insikt Group. Recorded Future notifies users by email, mobile app, or portal when new relevant intelligence for their organization is identified.^[5][6]

Vulnerability Intelligence scores vulnerabilities based on their exploitability, using real-time data. Vulnerability Intelligence tracks vulnerabilities specific to an organization's tech stack without any agents or sensors required. Recorded Future lets users monitor vulnerabilities by lifecycle stage, from disclosure to exploitation, and alerts them when a vulnerability changes state. Recorded Future SecOps Intelligence uses data indexed across the dark web and other sources to give tactical and operational insights. SecOps Intelligence has out-of-the-box integrations including Microsoft Sentinel, Cortex XSOAR, ServiceNow Security Incident Response, Crowdstrike, and SentinelOne. Geopolitical Intelligence indexes global data from across social media, local news, and messaging platforms in numerous languages. Recorded Future offers Country Risk Scoring to assess the risk of conducting or continuing business in a specific country across security, privacy, and regulatory factors. Recorded Future assesses country risk across five functional categories: Governance & Institutions, Physical Security and Travel, Cybersecurity, Data Privacy and Surveillance, and Supply Chain.^[7][8][9]

Recorded Future supports continuous monitoring of vendors for breach disclosures, ransomware exposure, and dark web activity. Recorded Future supports prioritizing third- and fourth-party risk by business criticality and threat severity. Recorded Future risk scores and evidence can be integrated directly into TPRM and GRC workflows.
