Mapping the attack surface across critical infrastructure in the Western Balkans

ThingsRecon analysed externally observable infrastructure across critical national infrastructure in the Western Balkans to examine exposure, digital dependencies and recurring cyber hygiene risks.

The report provides a regional view of how internet-facing assets and connected technologies can create shared exposure across essential services. It demonstrates how external discovery can help governments and critical infrastructure operators identify risks that may remain invisible in internal inventories or point-in-time assessments.

The study assessed 224 CNI organizations across 2 countries and 8,662 applications.

About ThingsRecon

ThingsRecon is a European cybersecurity company focused on Attack Surface Discovery and Supply Chain Intelligence.

Its technology analyses externally observable digital infrastructure to identify internet-facing assets, uncover supplier relationships and show how exposure connects across an organisation’s wider digital ecosystem.

At the centre of the platform is Digital Proximity, ThingsRecon’s patent-pending technology for measuring how closely suppliers and external assets are connected to critical systems. This helps organisations move beyond generic security scores and prioritise risk based on the depth and importance of each relationship.

ThingsRecon helps security, risk and resilience teams build a continuously updated view of the assets and dependencies they may not own, control or already know about.

The company is headquartered in the Netherlands and has received the Cybersecurity Made in Europe label issued by Security Delta on behalf of ECSO. ThingsRecon was also placed in the European Leaders area of the ECSO Cyberhive Matrix 2026 under Cyber Threat Intelligence.
