Recorded Future is the best-known threat intelligence platform, with deep coverage of adversaries, forums and marketplaces. Attack Insights ties dark-web intelligence directly to your validated attack surface — turning intel into action rather than another feed.
Definition
Recorded Future is a global threat intelligence platform, now part of Mastercard, that combines automated collection with expert analysis across the open, deep and dark web. It is known for broad coverage of forums, marketplaces and paste sites, plus strength in geopolitical and nation-state threat tracking.
Why it matters
Recorded Future is a powerhouse for standalone threat intelligence and is often the right choice for dedicated intel teams. Attack Insights takes a different angle: DarkThreatX intelligence isn’t a separate feed to triage — it’s woven into testing and attack surface management, so a leaked credential is matched to the exact asset it unlocks and the attack path it enables. Rather than intelligence and exposure living in separate tools, Attack Insights connects who’s targeting you and what’s leaked to what an attacker could actually exploit, in one platform.
Side by side
Recorded Future: standalone threat intelligence. Attack Insights: dark-web intelligence fused with testing and ASM.
Recorded Future collects and analyses intel broadly. Attack Insights ties intel to validated, exploitable findings.
Intel platforms inform analysts; Attack Insights links leaked data to the assets and paths it affects.
Attack Insights continuously discovers and tests the surface the intelligence relates to.
DarkThreatX draws on a 100B+ record corpus of leaked credentials and threat-actor activity.
Recorded Future suits dedicated intel teams. Attack Insights suits teams wanting intel tied to exposure and proof.

FAQ
For teams that want dark-web intelligence integrated with testing and ASM, yes. Dedicated intel teams may still want a standalone platform like Recorded Future.
It is built into Attack Insights, matching leaked credentials and threat-actor activity to your validated assets and attack paths.
For many security teams, integrated dark-web intelligence removes the need to triage a separate feed.
