"Good tool to analyze attack surface with some glitches"

2.5/5

What do you like best about IBM Security Randori Recon?

It is a really useful tool to detect attacks across different private and public hostnames and machines, very good detection in Linux machines actually. It also has great views for activity logs including any accounts accessed and power to enumerate all accounts via powershell and bash both. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Security Randori Recon?

It requires some time and learning to get used to the tool and is not easy to start with. Also it lacks some integration in its marketplace which stops from automating the deployment. Portal also has many glitches and frequently stop working with insufficient details to the error shown Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Security Randori Recon solving and how is that benefiting you?

Comprehensive Attack Surface Discovery: Randori Recon is known for its thorough approach to external attack surface discovery. It goes beyond traditional methods by not only identifying known assets but also uncovering hidden or misconfigured ones that attackers might exploit. This helps organizations gain a more complete picture of their security posture.Risk-Based Prioritization: Randori Recon doesn't overwhelm users with a massive list of vulnerabilities. It uses a patent-pending algorithm that considers factors like "adversarial temptation" (how attractive an asset might be to attackers), business context, and common vulnerability scoring systems (CVSS) to prioritize risks. This helps security teams focus on the most critical issues first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Randori recon is an excellent platform to administer your attack surface and vulnerabilities. Randori enhances the platform's functionality by offering additional integration choices with IBM SIEM and QRadar, for instance. The primary distinguishing characteristics lie in its backbone abilities to proactively discover, connect, and disclose the facts of all pertinent applications and resources. The dashboard offers a wealth of information on risks, including prioritized exposure as well as health scores. The Randori recon tool offers an excellent user interface that is easy to grasp and manipulate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review for IBM Randori Recon"

4/5

What do you like best about IBM Security Randori Recon?

The increasing attack surface due to cloud deployability gets tougher for the security team to map and work on them. A tool like Randori Recon has gelped our client to continuosly discover assets that are exposed to attack surfaces in our network infra for both in-house and cloud offerings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Security Randori Recon?

Intgration of devices with many vulnerability assesment tools gets problematic sometimes. The IP ranges addition is manual which adds the work requirement for our admin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Security Randori Recon solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were not able to map the increasing attack surface especially after the deployment on the cloud. All the informations like anomaly behaviour, Blind spots if any and misconfigurations are mapped in a single dashboard. It offers better visibilty to our admins and analyst to improve the security posture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"IBM Randori Recon- Excellent tool for discovering assets and attack surfaces."

4/5

What do you like best about IBM Security Randori Recon?

Randori recon best capability comes with it's ability to seamlessly integrated with other tools like Qradar. After thorough assesment of the attack surface and asset discovery packet assesment can be done for the same on Qradar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Security Randori Recon?

Once the reconnaissance for attack surfaces is done, the pre-defined Use-cases needs to be tuned to reduce the increasing false-positve.

Second challenge we have faced with it's integration with non-IBM product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Security Randori Recon solving and how is that benefiting you?

Earlier the asset discovery was a challenge for the team to do it manually. With the inception of Randori Recon in our infra the attack surface gets exposed easily giving the security team and insight for furthering the investigative task.

The analyst has an upper hand the reduced manual task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
