Criminal IP Appoints Reconn as Threat Intelligence and Attack Surface Management Distributor in the Middle East and Africa

Criminal IP has appointed Reconn as a distributor of threat intelligence and attack surface management solutions across the Middle East and Africa (MEA). Developed by AI SPERA, Criminal IP integrates with leading SIEM, SOAR, and XDR platforms to deliver decision-ready cyber threat intelligence and AI-powered attack surface management for security teams worldwide.

Managed security service providers (MSSPs), security operations center (SOC) teams, threat analysts, and enterprise security organizations across the Middle East, North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa will gain access to Criminal IP’s advanced capabilities. These include real-time IP intelligence, domain scanning, open-source intelligence (OSINT), vulnerability analysis, and dark web monitoring.

Organizations in the MEA region face increasingly complex cybersecurity challenges, including advanced threat actors targeting critical infrastructure, hybrid and cloud environments that are difficult to monitor, and regulatory requirements demanding greater visibility into external threats. Criminal IP continuously scans the global internet across 4.29 billion IP addresses, helping security teams identify exposed assets and detect potential threats at an early stage.

By tracking threat actors, identifying command-and-control (C2) servers, correlating malicious infrastructure, and uncovering compromised credentials, Criminal IP helps reduce the time between threat detection and response. Its threat intelligence and attack surface management capabilities enable organizations to understand their external exposure and take action before attacks escalate.

Criminal IP currently operates in more than 150 countries and integrates with over 40 cybersecurity platforms, including Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, OpenCTI, Wazuh, and other widely used security technologies. Through its partnership with Reconn, Criminal IP will expand its presence in the rapidly growing Middle East and Africa cybersecurity market.

“The SOCs and MSSPs we speak with across the region face a common challenge: gaining visibility into threats originating outside their networks,” said Shenoy Sandeep, founder of Reconn. “Criminal IP’s continuous IP and domain scanning helps close visibility gaps that traditional security tools may overlook. This partnership enables our customers to detect threats earlier, respond faster, and gain a clearer understanding of the assets they need to protect. The regional threat landscape is unique, and Criminal IP provides the global scale and local relevance security teams require. With deployment support, compliance guidance, and training, we can accelerate the adoption of threat intelligence across the MEA region.”

“The Middle East and Africa are strategically important markets, and organizations across the region are seeking greater visibility into external threats and their expanding attack surfaces,” said Byungtak Kang, CEO of AI SPERA. “Through our partnership with Reconn, Criminal IP’s global threat intelligence and attack surface management capabilities will be combined with Reconn’s regional expertise and customer network. Together, we aim to make actionable threat intelligence more accessible to security teams, helping them identify threats, understand their context, and respond before they become security incidents.”

Reconn’s regional presence positions Criminal IP to support organizations operating in markets where central banks and regulatory authorities require visibility into external threats and attack surface exposure as part of their cybersecurity governance obligations. Relevant authorities and frameworks include CBUAE, SAMA, DFSA, CBN, BRSA, and NCA-ECC.

Reconn provides end-to-end support for Criminal IP deployments, including integration with existing SIEM, SOAR, and XDR platforms, proof-of-concept support, sales engineering, threat intelligence training, implementation services, and ongoing technical assistance.

Criminal IP Threat Intelligence (TI) provides security teams with decision-ready intelligence to proactively identify, investigate, and respond to emerging cyber threats. Powered by artificial intelligence and OSINT, the platform delivers real-time analysis of malicious indicators across IP addresses, domains, and URLs. Capabilities include threat scoring, reputation analysis, C2 server detection, indicator of compromise (IOC) discovery, and identification of masking services such as VPNs, proxies, and anonymous networks.

With an API-first architecture, Criminal IP integrates seamlessly into existing security workflows, helping organizations improve visibility, automate analysis, and accelerate incident response.

Criminal IP’s attack surface management (ASM) platform combines continuous asset discovery with detailed threat intelligence analysis across IP addresses, domains, OSINT sources, and related infrastructure. Built on Criminal IP’s advanced internet scanning and exposure management capabilities, the platform adds context such as vulnerability intelligence, C2 detection, malicious IP and domain correlation, and dark web exposure to every layer of asset discovery.

This integrated approach helps security teams proactively identify, prioritize, and remediate exposed assets and vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers.
