Dark Web Monitoring / Dark Web Scanning

The act of searching for and tracking your organization's information on the dark web is known as dark web monitoring or scanning.

Dark web monitoring tools function similarly to a dark web search engine (such as Google). These tools aid in the discovery of leaked or stolen information such as compromised passwords, compromised credentials, intellectual property, and other sensitive material shared and sold by criminal actors operating on the dark web.

Identity thieves may buy or sell your personal information on difficult-to-find dark websites and forums.

Uncover Any Exposed Business Credentials 

If you suspect your organization’s corporate credentials have been exposed on the dark web, you can run a scan. Data breaches happen constantly, so you must monitor the dark web continuously. 

The benefit of dark web monitoring is that it identifies exposed data and the amount of time that your data is exposed.

Dark web monitoring tools scan the dark web on your behalf, notifying you as soon as they come across any compromised credentials for sale that belong to your company. Dark web alerts should give you enough time to act before threat actors use your organization’s login details for malicious purposes.

By actively monitoring the dark web at all times and mitigating exposed assets or identities, these tools give cybercriminals less time to exploit your confidential information, preventing further information leaks because you addressed them quickly.

Secure Your Company's Brand 

Dark web monitoring services are essential to have for your company. Below are six steps every business can and should take to ensure their company's brand remains secure.

• Use unique passwords for all accounts and systems: The first step in keeping any organization safe is communicating to employees the importance of using different passwords for different accounts and systems.
• Replace all passwords regularly: Passwords should be changed periodically to guarantee that even if your organization's corporate credentials surface on the dark web, they are no longer "fresh" and less helpful to hackers.
• Enable a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): MFA provides an additional layer of security, making it much more difficult for fraudsters to log in as someone else.
• Provide safety awareness training to your employees: Employee education on cyber dangers and how to detect them is crucial to mitigating attacks.
