Cyber Security Dark Web Monitoring
Dark web monitoring finds stolen or leaked information on the dark web. The dark web is a network of hidden websites and services that operate on specialised software and protocols, such as the Tor browser.
It is hidden from traditional search engines and allows individuals to hide their IP addresses for safety reasons or to keep threat actors illegal activities anonymous.
Dark web monitoring provides threat intelligence, faster incident response times and integration into other security platforms / tools.
There are unfortunately hundreds of sensitive data types that can be leaked and sold on the dark web including the following:
- Personally Identifiable Information (PII) – e.g., full names, phone numbers and home addresses
- Financial Information – e.g., credit card numbers, PIN codes and tax file numbers
- Medical information – e.g., medical records, prescription details or health insurance IDs
- Student Records – e.g., demographic information, academic performance data or ID photos
- Login Credentials – e.g., API keys, usernames, passwords, security questions and API keys
- Business Data – e.g., intellectual property, trade secrets and employee records
- Communication – e.g., emails, text messages, online chats or phone conversations
As organizations continue to store more of their data online each year, they are becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Dark web monitoring enables businesses to detect if their sensitive data has been compromised.
“This early detection strategy is crucial in preventing a potentially much larger data breach!”
Effective dark web monitoring services are not one-off exercises though, but an on-going process in which a unique set of search criteria is created and regularly updated to defend your organisation’s network, systems, apps, and reputation.
