Support for more than 7+ operating systems means that Card Recon can cover the majority of common system types used by organizations.

Who is Card Recon Suitable For

Card Recon is ideal for security consultants and small businesses with a requirement to scan up to 5 systems. Card Recon Desktop is designed for scanning the contents of workstations, while Card Recon Server is designed for sample-based scanning of file servers.

For environments with 5 or more systems with a requirement to scan workstations, servers, database systems, emails, or cloud storage platforms, it is recommended that our Enterprise Recon solution be used due to its centralized design, support for a variety of platforms, ability to automate scanning, and capability to consolidate reporting data from multiple scans.
