Recorded Future Launches Digital Risk Protection, Unifying Brand and Identity Monitoring
Today, Recorded Future announces the launch of Digital Risk Protection, the solution that unifies brand and identity monitoring, built to see more across five threat surfaces, and chase less noise. The longer a brand or identity threat goes unseen, the more it costs, in customer trust, in revenue, and in the time it takes to undo the damage.
Every day, major brands generate thousands, or even tens of thousands, of online mentions. High-severity threats like fake executive profiles, compromised credentials, and lookalike domains often get buried in this massive volume, leaving security teams without a simple way to filter out the noise. As a result, most organizations don't discover a threat until a customer complains, a login looks suspicious, or a fraud report lands, and by then, attackers have already had days or weeks to operate.
AI has lowered the barrier to building convincing phishing infrastructure, while infostealers expose stolen credentials on underground markets in hours. Americans reported $15.9 billion fraud/scam losses in 2025. That’s up 28% from the prior year. Reflecting this shift, Gartner's 2026 Magic Quadrant has folded digital risk protection into cyber threat intelligence technologies, signaling that brand and identity threats are phases of a single attack chain, not separate disciplines.
Digital Risk Protection brings brand threat monitoring and identity exposure monitoring into one workflow, from detection to response, and every Alert arrives with the full context and evidence an analyst needs to act fast, act first, and respond to a threat before it reaches a customer or costs you their trust.
What just launched
Coverage, context, and action in one place
Digital Risk Protection continuously monitors the open, deep, and dark web, and technical sources across five use cases (Malicious Site Monitoring, Impersonation Monitoring, Code Repository Monitoring, Dark Web Brand Monitoring, Identity Exposure Monitoring). All running from the same workspace, with shared asset management, alert configuration, and takedown coordination. The breadth of sources Recorded Future monitors is already a differentiator, and for Digital Risk Protection specifically, that same collection now runs through one unified detection engine, with expanded social media analysis, OCR analysis, full Telegram coverage, and active infostealer logs feeding into it to power all five use cases.
Relevant signals are tracked as a detection, and a multi-stage detection funnel filters the volume of Alerts down to better prioritize what may warrant action, with configurable thresholds per use case so teams control what surfaces without losing coverage. Every Alert arrives with full evidence, risk logic, and a recommended action already attached, so analysts are not pivoting across tools to figure out what to do next. Automated monthly, quarterly, and annual reports show what was detected, actioned, and stopped, ready for a leadership or board conversation.
AI Triage Agent
The AI Triage Agent automates the evaluation process and reduces the need for human analysts to sort through raw detection streams. Available today for Malicious Site Monitoring and Dark Web Brand Monitoring, it assesses high interest detections and delivers an explicit verdict accompanied by detailed context, so your team receives more critical, high-priority Alerts that require immediate action.
Malicious Site Monitoring
Malicious Site Monitoring flags newly registered lookalike domains and phishing infrastructure within hours of registration, often before a customer or employee ever visits the site. Without this kind of monitoring, these threats typically go undiscovered for days or weeks. It analyzes page content itself, not just the domain, using logo detection and image OCR to help catch impersonation that keyword matching alone could miss.
Impersonation Monitoring
Fake executive profiles and company impersonation accounts spread across social and professional networking platforms long before organizations notice them, usually surfacing only when an employee or customer reports one directly. Impersonation Monitoring helps flag these accounts as they appear across both personal and professional profiles.
Code Repository Monitoring
Exposed source code, access keys, credentials on public code repositories are often discovered only after proprietary information has already been indexed, copied, and forked across the web. Code Repository Monitoring continuously scans repositories for exposed credentials, PII, and source code, flagging exposure for action before it can be weaponized.
Dark Web Brand Monitoring
Activity targeting your organization on underground forums, marketplaces, and ransomware extortion sites is invisible without dedicated tooling, which means many teams learn about it only after it has already been acted on. Dark Web Brand Monitoring surfaces brand mentions, planned attacks, and compromised data across these channels as they are discussed, not after they are deployed.
Identity Exposure Monitoring
Compromised credentials often surface on cybercriminal forums, marketplaces, and covert channels weeks in advance of any notification, well after a threat actor has already attempted to gain unauthorized access to an account. Identity Exposure Monitoring can surface compromised employee credentials from active infostealer logs within hours of exfiltration. With VIP monitoring also available for executive accounts, your team can force a password reset before an account takeover happens. Customer Credential Monitoring extends this same visibility to your customer base and is available as a paid add-on.
Where we are going
While this launch lays a strong foundation, Recorded Future’s roadmap extends further. Coverage will soon broaden to the open web including multimedia sources, news outlets, blogs, and forums through an upcoming sixth use case: Public Brand Monitoring. Meanwhile, the AI Triage Agent that is currently active for Malicious Site Monitoring and Dark Web Brand Monitoring, is slated to roll out across additional use cases, contributing to the ongoing move toward fully autonomous detection, triage, and takedown workflows.
Organizations getting ahead of brand and identity risk are often the ones treating detection and response as one program, not two. That unified approach is the platform Recorded Future is building.

If you already use Recorded Future for brand or identity monitoring, Digital Risk Protection is available to activate directly in the platform. If you're new to Recorded Future, request a demo to see the full solution in action.
Frequently asked questions
What is Recorded Future Digital Risk Protection?
Digital Risk Protection is a single solution that continuously monitors the open, deep, and dark web, and technical sources for external brand threats and identity exposures, and gives teams the workflows to act on what it finds, from detection through takedown, in one place.
What's included at launch?
Five use cases: Malicious Site Monitoring, Impersonation Monitoring, Code Repository Monitoring, Dark Web Brand Monitoring, and Identity Exposure Monitoring. The AI Triage Agent is available at launch for Malicious Site Monitoring and Dark Web Brand Monitoring, with expansion to the remaining use cases planned. One-click takedown coordination and automated reporting are available across all five use cases from day one.
What's the difference between a detection and an Alert?
Detections are the full monitoring record, every relevant signal Digital Risk Protection picks up, kept available for broader research, compliance review, or checking sub-threshold activity your team wants to dig into later. Alerts are the detections that have been assessed as requiring action, the smaller set of detections that cross a configured risk threshold, each arriving with evidence and a recommended next step attached. Anything that doesn't meet the threshold to become an Alert remains as a detection.
How do I get Digital Risk Protection?
Digital Risk Protection is available as a standalone solution, or as part of Recorded Future's Core, Professional, and Elite platform packages. Request a demo to see the full solution and find the right fit for your team.
Is Customer Credential Monitoring included?
No. Customer Credential Monitoring, which extends credential exposure visibility to your customer base, is available as a paid add-on across all pricing tiers.
What's coming next?
Public Brand Monitoring is planned as a sixth use case. Additionally, the AI Triage Agent is set to expand past its initial two use cases, alongside ongoing efforts to broaden coverage and further automate workflows.
