Case Study: Chinachem Group achieves real-time external attack-surface visibility and brand protection with Fortinet's FortiRecon

Safeguarding Digital Assets and Brand Reputation Against External Threats

Chinachem Group, one of Hong Kong’s largest and most trusted property developers, faced growing external cyber risks as it scaled digital services and PropTech initiatives. After discovering a fraudulent website impersonating the brand, the company recognized that traditional security tools weren’t enough to protect digital assets and reputation and needed continuous, adversary‑style visibility of its external attack surface and brand footprint.

Chinachem deployed FortiRecon alongside FortiGate NGFWs, using its EASM, Brand Protection, and Adversary Centric Intelligence capabilities to monitor exposed assets, the dark web, code repositories, mobile apps, and social media. The solution delivered real‑time visibility, prioritized remediation, and takedown support—identifying a fake hotel social page, enabling removal of a fraudulent site, accelerating incident response, and reducing the impact and cost of attacks while protecting brand trust.
