Such monitoring provides valuable insights into how the breach occurred, helping you take proactive security measures that will fortify your organisation against criminals after every event.

Why Opt in?

The dark web is more than just a marketplace for compromised credentials; it’s also a hotbed of activity that could signal an impending or ongoing attack against your business. This could even extend to threats associated with your supply chain partners. Dark web monitoring acts as an early warning system in your overall cybersecurity strategy.


It doesn’t just alert you about data breaches but also helps identify risks from unverified sources. These alerts can be tied to other threat indicators, speeding up the threat profiling and mitigation process.

Risks Uncovered through Dark Web Monitoring:

  • Breaches involving third parties.
  • Data leaks on criminal forums
  • Peer-to-peer leaks
  • Unintentional data exposure
  • Brand abuse
  • Identity spoofing
  • Fake domains

  • Malware and Botnets: Different malware types are used to gradually leak confidential data.
