As a United States Air Force Cyber Warfare Operator, Eric Capuano, Recon CTO, envisioned a simulation range for training and preparation. Finding no useful alternatives, he built his own and shared it at BSides events. There, he met like-minded colleagues just as passionate as he was.

In 2015, Eric formed Recon as a consulting business; the name was inspired by his experience working on Air Force drones. In 2018, Eric, Bob, and Whitney founded Recon InfoSec as a corporation and committed full-time.

By 2019, we had more than tripled in size, hosted OpenSOC as a DEFCON Black Badge Event, and provided training at BlackHat. We have also established Cybersecurity Partnerships with organizations in the following sectors: financial / investment, public utilities, commercial construction, school districts, Fortune 50 consumer products, senior care facilities, craft-brewing, internet retail and local government. Our success has come, in large part, from investing in our team and hiring passionate experts. We believe nothing is more inspiring for talented professionals than collaborating with other innovators.
