RiskIQ uses virtual user technology to discover web assets and experience them like a real user (or attacker performing reconnaissance) does, allowing you to accurately identify, monitor, and manage your entire internet attack surface from the outside in.

RiskIQ’s technology goes beyond simple crawling. Our virtual users visit websites using different browsers, varying their click pattern and time on pages, and behave as a human user would, enabling our technology to continuously monitor while evading stealthy anti-detection systems. The virtual users are launched from a constantly evolving global web and mobile proxy network with more than 520 egress points in more than 40 countries.

Using a network of tens of thousands of these virtual users, we scan the entire internet millions of times per hour, collecting telemetric data to produce a dynamic index of your web attack surface. This process illuminates websites, mobile apps, URLs, web page content, ASNs, IPs, and nameservers, many of which aren’t currently in your inventory. RiskIQ uncovers all digital assets appearing online that tie back to your organization, enabling your security team to understand the attack surface outside your firewall, bring unknown assets under management, and survey your digital footprint from the view of a global adversary.
