Case Study: Hong Kong Broadband Network (HKBN) achieves centralized external threat visibility and early cyberattack detection with Fortinet FortiRecon

Hong Kong ICT Powerhouse Deploys Fortinet FortiRecon to Detect, Prevent, and Remediate Cyberattacks at the Earliest Possible Stage

Hong Kong Broadband Network Group (HKBN), a leading telecom and ICT provider serving millions of homes and thousands of commercial buildings across Hong Kong, Macau, and mainland China, accelerated cloud migration and digital transformation, which expanded its external attack surface. Facing sophisticated phishing, cloud and app vulnerabilities, and threats to its brand, HKBN found its legacy mix of siloed tools and manual processes insufficient for timely visibility, investigation, and remediation.

HKBN implemented Fortinet’s FortiRecon (SaaS) — combining External Attack Surface Management, Brand Protection, and Adversary‑Centric Intelligence — after a successful proof of concept. The platform delivered a single pane of glass with automated discovery, prioritization, dark‑web monitoring and takedown capabilities, enabling 24/7 detection of high‑risk vulnerabilities, stronger brand protection, and faster, more focused remediation to reduce exposure for customers, partners, and vendors.
