Digital Shadows vs. Recorded Future Intelligence Cloud vs. SecurityScorecard

DS is fantastic for big and large-medium companies, it has many very featured functions and works very well. It's a little bit expensive for small and little-medium companies.

If you want a platform that is covering thousands of sources, and that includes deep, dark web, clear web forums, blogs, newspapers, social media networks, etc. Recorded Future is the most complete solution that I have seen. On the other hand, if you are looking for a really advanced platform with lot of human added value, research papers, advanced investigations, etc. Recorded Future might not be the ideal solution.

Good:

* Initial recognition of perimeter

* Discovery of shadow IT assets

* Get nice reports to set baselines and objectives for your customers

Bad

* Does not provide threat intel as another tool

* Not enough documentation for the API or to automate scenarios

Incentivized

• We found company emails used for personal uses.
• We found internal documents in deep web.
• We found news and information about the company managers on social media not delivered by the company.

• Gives latest threat reports regarding an artifact (IP, domain or hash).
• Browser extension provides a real-time information about an artifact.
• Accurate in identifying malicious domains and IPs.

Incentivized

• Security Ratings
• Security Assessments
• Reporting Center

• I'd like to have still more features for searching on social media.
• I'd like to have a better interface for configuration.
• It's expensive for middle and small companies, I'd like to have a reduced-features version for them.

• E-Mail reports can show unrelated content, especially sometimes you'll see alerts popping up for articles which have been published years ago but for some reason were just recently discovered by RF.
• Yara rules from their insikt blog sometimes are not syntactically correct and need to be manually edited to actually work. There's some proper QA missing.
• Their global and 3rd party risk reports could be more tailored towards the industries of their client. There is entries for totally unrelated security incidents. Of course a global list aims to find incidents on a global view, but it doesn't add much value at that point.

Incentivized

• Pricing could be reviewed for specific industries which were more impacted by the pandemic situation.

Solved the problems of my customers and permitted to clearly demonstrate these problems to management.

It's very easy to use, also non-technical users can understand the information to use for search and results, initial configuration is less easy to configure but just a little.

Incentivized

They are very available and competent, in addition, they used people with a good knowledge of the Italian language that helped very much, especially with the first customer.

I've had an issue with their browser-plugin which didn't want to authenticate correctly. RF's support could arrange for a session with me and identify and solve the issue. I was very pleased how serious they took my problems and also how knowledgeable they are.

If I have more general questions they quickly reply and most likely also have a solution at hand.

Incentivized

As I said: ease of use, scanningg of deep web and social media, results easy to understand and use.

Incentivized

The other product didn't have searches on Social Media.

It is the most complete solution of these three, as the others are focused in specific areas and having really detailed analysis about threat actors, APT groups, etc. Recorded Future is not having this level of knowledge in really specific areas but doing a really good work covering thousands of sources and the most relevant forums.

• DS gave more visibility on the company cyber exposure.
• Results of DS searches helped to solve security holes in people's behaviour.
• Company management reached more awareness about company cyber exposure.

• Recorded Future crashes my web browser in cases I have to open a web page containing hundreds of IPs. A quick disable feature for a particular tab would be beneficial for someone like me.

• Get insights about our external security posture
• Actionable tasks to solve
