BEFORE EVERY ATTACK, THERE IS PREPARATION.
PREPARATION REQUIRES INFORMATION.
MODERN LIFE CREATES
TARGETING INTELLIGENCE
Modern life constantly produces information about us.
Purchases create records. Travel creates itineraries. Movement creates patterns. For high-value principals, visibility, assets, and relationships reveal even more.
Individually, these pieces are often benign. Combined, they can reveal what an adversary needs to find, predict, and reach the principal—without breaching a system or triggering an alert.


SECURITY HAS BOUNDARIES.
ADVERSARIES DON'T.
Information about the principal exists far beyond security’s control.
Security is specialized by design. Each capability addresses a different part of the principal’s risk.
Adversaries aren't restricted by those boundaries.
They work across domains, assembling whatever they need to develop a viable pathway.

COUNTER-TARGETING
RUN THEIR TARGETING PROCESS FIRST.
FIND
PROVE
DENY
VERIFY
Find the pathways before they do.
Prove the pathways work.
Deny what makes them possible.
Verify they no longer work.
Recce Group runs the targeting process from the adversary’s perspective to determine which pathways are viable—and what makes them possible.
THE RESULT:
A PRINCIPAL WHO IS HARDER TO FIND, PREDICT AND REACH.
A PRINCIPAL WHO IS HARDER TO TARGET.
