# Deepinfo vs. Recorded Future

URL: https://www.deepinfo.com/compare/recorded-future/

CTI-led

Recorded Future suits organizations that run threat intelligence as a discipline of its own, with analysts who consume research from many sources. Deepinfo suits teams that start from their own external exposure and want each finding tied to an asset, a domain or a vendor they can act on.

Both now reach beyond one area. The difference is where each one starts, and what sits underneath it.

Deepinfo and Recorded Future compared feature by feature

| Capability | Deepinfo | Recorded Future |
| --- | --- | --- |
| At a glance |  |  |
| Starts from | Your internet-facing assets, discovered from a seed domain and scanned continuously | Intelligence collected from open web, dark web and technical sources |
| At the core | An index of the internet Deepinfo collects itself: domains, subdomains, DNS, WHOIS and certificates | An intelligence graph, with research from its Insikt Group analysts |
| Packaging | All modules on one platform, priced by the scope you monitor | Separate intelligence modules |
| Primary user | Security teams that own exposure, remediation and vendor risk | CTI teams and SOCs that use intelligence as a primary input |
| Company | Headquartered in Istanbul, with offices in Paris and Kuwait | Part of Mastercard since December 2024 |
| Coverage |  |  |
| External attack surface · Discovery and scanning of your own assets | EASM, every asset scanned layer by layer | Attack Surface Intelligence module |
| Lookalike domains and brand abuse | BRP, typos and confusable letters | Brand Intelligence module |

## Where Recorded Future Is Strong.

Research depth and source breadth are *its home ground.*

Recorded Future is built for teams that treat threat intelligence as a discipline: tracking adversaries, briefing leadership and feeding detection work in the SOC. Its analyst research and the range of sources behind it are what those teams pay for.

If that is your main need, Recorded Future is a strong choice, and Deepinfo can sit beside it on the exposure side.

## Where Deepinfo Is Strong.

Each one is checkable in a demo on your domain.

### [Findings That Start From Your Assets](https://www.deepinfo.com/platform/cti/)

Deepinfo builds your inventory first, then reads breach data and infostealer logs for your domains, employees and customers, and matches new registrations against your brand names. Each finding points to an account, a device or a domain tied to your organization.

### [Exposure Work That Ends in a Verified Fix](https://www.deepinfo.com/platform/easm/remediation-with-actionable-insights/)

Each EASM issue carries its evidence, a severity and its compliance classifications through to the fix. It is marked verified resolved when a rescan confirms the signal is gone, and reopens if the signal returns.

### [The Index Itself, Through the API](https://www.deepinfo.com/data-api/)

Your engineers can query the data directly: Domain Search across name, WHOIS, DNS, SSL and web data fields, reverse IP, MX, NS and WHOIS pivots, DNS and WHOIS history, and daily files of registered, updated and deleted domains.

## Teams Working This Way.

## What Buyers Ask About Both.

**Does Deepinfo replace Recorded Future?**

It depends on what you use Recorded Future for. If it mainly watches your attack surface, lookalike domains, leaked credentials and vendors, Deepinfo covers that work in one platform. If you run a research-led intelligence program, a dedicated intelligence source can sit alongside Deepinfo.

**Can the two run side by side?**

Yes. Deepinfo findings and data are available through a REST API, notifications and scheduled PDF reports, so it can sit next to an intelligence platform without replacing it. The [integrations](https://www.deepinfo.com/integrations/) page lists current connection options.

**What does Deepinfo’s threat intelligence consist of?**

Breach, infostealer and dark web findings matched to your domains, threat actor profiles with the regions, industries and organizations each actor targets and the CVEs and tools it uses, and cybersecurity news linked to CVEs and actors. Finished reporting from analysts is Recorded Future’s core strength.

**How do the two rank vulnerabilities?**

Recorded Future applies its own risk scores. Deepinfo shows each CVE’s CVSS score, EPSS probability and CISA KEV status side by side, with vDeep, Deepinfo’s own CVSS scoring layer, next to them.

**How do we compare them on our own data?**

Book a [demo](https://www.deepinfo.com/request-demo/) on your primary domain, then run both products on the same seed domains. Compare what each finds, how each ranks it and how your team would work it.
