Recorded Future Primary Use Case

Dr. Merrick Watchorn - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Executive Officer at The Watchorn Innovation Group, Inc. (TWIGI)

Recorded Future is accessed through a web service portal. It is a cloud-based service, hosted either on Amazon or Microsoft. Their services employ sophisticated data mining techniques, resulting in a clear semantic ontology. This is known as "chain link" intelligence referencing in 33 languages.

I use Recorded Future to monitor topics of interest, not only for brand recognition but also for cyber threat intelligence. The solution helps me understand emerging security threats and provides insight into activities such as supply chain delays or shortages of materials. I have also used the solution for open-source intelligence and criminal forensic investigations, as well as data feed analysis to determine evidence that can be used to support high-level business and M&A activities.

Being a financial organization, we had a lot of domains, and we were using a lot of public-facing applications. We had listed our public IPs over there, and if any of our licensed applications were found on some sort of dark web or anonymous or rogue IP, or a fake application was being run by using our domain name or using our logo or trademark pictures without authorization, Recorded Future reported it to us.

We were using the cloud service. We were just using it as SaaS.

As an analyst serving several clients, our team relies on Recorded Future to receive timely alerts related to using underground screen searches. This involves using an algorithmic code feature to gather the specific data we need, which then triggers an alert for us. When we receive the alert on the platform, we assess it to determine if it pertains to our client's needs. If it does, we report our findings to the client.

I am working on various alerts related to brand impersonation, typosquatting, abuse domain, and other similar cases. Since the use cases are built-in, I have not created any custom rules.

Recorded Future covers a lot of different use cases. For example, we are using it for threat intelligence research. We do use the tool to make active research on what is found around the threat. We look at patterns, for example, and see what can be elaborated on from that. 

In another use case, we use it to get all the IOCs registered and use it after that to allow other intelligence technologies to feed into that to prevent any issues for customers.

We can also use it for active monitoring in the customer interface. We can monitor the business side of a campaign. We can monitor for specific threats or market activity on the dashboard. We can develop queries to run in a continuous mode in order to get the best reviews.
