CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Mid-market and enterprise security teams drowning in unknown assets and third-party risk will find FortiRecon's continuous external discovery and supply chain monitoring actually useful instead of theoretical. The tool maps findings to MITRE ATT&CK and integrates with your existing SIEM and SOAR stack, meaning the intel gets operationalized rather than buried in another dashboard. Skip this if your organization is still doing annual penetration tests and hasn't committed to continuous exposure management; FortiRecon assumes you're ready to act on what it finds, constantly.
Mid-market and enterprise security teams drowning in unmanaged internet-facing assets will find spiderSilk's value in its AI-native discovery that catches what traditional asset inventories miss, particularly shadow infrastructure and third-party exposures. The platform maps to five of six NIST CSF 2.0 core functions with particular strength in ID.AM and GV.SC, meaning you get genuine supply chain visibility alongside your own asset hygiene. Skip this if your organization has already achieved 95 percent asset inventory coverage or needs deep forensics and recovery capabilities; spiderSilk prioritizes external threat surface mapping over incident response depth.
