About Reco

Reco sells the Reco Platform, which gives security teams visibility into their entire third-party ecosystem so they can discover risks, prioritize what matters, and fix it. Reco says each agent brings connections to apps, to permissions and to other agents. The Reco Graph is a continuously updated knowledge graph that captures the full context of an organisation's third-party ecosystem. Reco shows who is acting across an ecosystem, including human users, service accounts, and AI agents. Reco shows how apps connect to each other and where data moves across the stack.[1][5][6]

Reco presents one live map of an entire third-party ecosystem: every agent, every app, every connection between them. Teams act on what the Reco Graph shows: they scope permissions, revoke stale access, and give every agent an owner and a lifecycle. Reco secures every prompt, action, and event in real time.[5][6]

Reco discovers and controls agents operating across an ecosystem, from Claude to Agentforce to custom agents. Reco automatically discovers agents across Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Agentforce, Make, n8n, and custom integrations. Reco maps agent identities, data permissions, SaaS-to-SaaS connections, and OAuth scopes in one unified view. Reco surfaces agents with excessive permissions, exposed credentials, or high-risk vendor connections for action. Teams can sanction approved agents, block unauthorized ones, and enforce least-privilege policies across the enterprise ecosystem. Teams can revoke excessive permissions, disable unauthorized agents, or trigger automated workflows through existing security tools. New agents are discovered automatically the moment they appear.[1][5][7]

Reco alerts on injection and jailbreak attempts as they happen, scored using the context the Reco Graph has about the agent behind them. Reco catches sensitive data on its way into models and agents, where it is classified, redacted, or blocked in real time. Reco applies policies to block, warn, redact, allow, or log every agent, tool, and action, based on a customer's own policies or the hundreds of out-of-the-box policies from Reco. Reco monitors and secures personal accounts and non-SSO AI apps, with copy-paste and file-upload guardrails applied by user, group, or device. When an agent goes rogue, Reco stops it with one action, without touching the network or the apps around it. Reco enforces through app-native hooks and endpoint controls, using either the customer's gateway or the gateway from Reco.[8][12]

Reco discovers and maps all agents, apps, shadow AI, shadow SaaS, and SaaS-to-SaaS tools, including their users, data, and toxic combinations. Reco maps every identity, minimizes every privilege, and maintains zero-trust access across all integrated agents and applications. Reco monitors accounts, permissions, and access patterns 24/7 without manual reviews. Reco uses AI-powered Identity Context Agent monitoring so that accounts stay secure and access privileges stay at a minimum. Identity Context Agent automatically analyzes user behavior patterns and provides business context for every identity decision in real time. The posture monitoring covers managed, shadow, AI-powered, and third-party apps. Reco automatically maps findings to SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, and 20+ other standards. For compliance monitoring, Reco maps findings to SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and other standards. Reco connects compliance findings to existing security tools for remediation workflows. Reco identifies and mitigates data exposure risks across an agent and app ecosystem.[7][9][10][11][13]

Generative AI Discovery is the automated process of identifying all GenAI applications and AI agents in use across an environment. Reco discovers every AI tool, agent, and copilot across an environment, even personal ChatGPT usage. Reco governs AI features embedded within existing SaaS applications, from Salesforce Einstein to Microsoft Copilot. Reco automatically classifies AI tools by risk level, data access, and business impact. Reco detects when employees use personal ChatGPT or Claude accounts for work. Reco monitors AI tool usage through web browsers and extensions. Reco tracks AI usage on mobile devices accessing corporate data. Reco maps what data flows to AI systems and which GenAI tools have access to sensitive information.[12][13]

Reco Library connects to hundreds of apps out of the box, from Slack to Salesforce. Reco connects to 290+ agents and apps, identifies embedded agents, and governs autonomous tools. New apps are detected and integrated automatically through always-on discovery. Reco offers agent-ready MCP support, API-first architecture, and an AI-enabled UI. Reco offers AI-powered agents that work 24/7 to detect, analyze, and remediate threats without human intervention across a SaaS ecosystem. Reco is SOC2 and GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified.[1][2][5][6][7][14][15]
