Criminal IP said on Sept. 1, 2026, that it appointed Reconn as a distributor for its threat intelligence and attack surface management offerings across the Middle East and Africa.

The company said the arrangement is intended to widen access to its tools for MSSPs, SOC teams, threat analysts and security operations centers in the region. Criminal IP said the partnership will also provide implementation support, integration help and compliance training.

Criminal IP, which is operated by AI SPERA and was announced from Torrance, California, describes its platform as decision-ready threat intelligence and AI-powered attack surface management. The company said the products integrate with SIEM, SOAR and XDR platforms, and it said the service is used in more than 150 countries and connects with more than 40 cybersecurity platforms.

In the release, Criminal IP said its capabilities include real-time IP intelligence, domain scanning, OSINT data, dark web monitoring, tracking threat actors, identifying command-and-control servers and surfacing leaked credentials.
