When a breach happens on the Internet, it's important to know ASAP so that you can double-check it hasn't been used against the client already.
Proactively protect Your Business from stolen credentials
Dark web monitoring is a process of searching for and monitoring information found on the dark web. It finds stolen or leaked information, such as compromised passwords, credentials, intellectual property, and other sensitive data being shared and sold among criminals operating on the dark web.
As organizations store more of their data online, they are becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyber attacks. Dealing with these cyber attacks increases cybersecurity costs, which may ultimately affect consumers in the form of higher prices. That is why organizations are starting to use dark web monitoring as part of their cybersecurity efforts.
The dark web is a hidden network of websites that is only accessible by means of special software. It is hidden from search engines and allows individuals to hide their IP addresses for safety reasons or to keep their illegal activities anonymous.
Is Dark Web Monitoring Legitimate?
Dark web monitoring tools are not illegal, but they do not take any action to remove your information from ending up on the dark web. They also cannot prevent your stolen information from being used. This is because the dark web has anonymous users, several layers of encryption, and no customer service.
Four Features of Aegisys Dark Web Monitoring
Here are some of the features of dark web monitoring:
1. Threat intelligence: Our Dark web monitoring tools map out useful sections of the dark web and determine important sources of threat intelligence—data or knowledge that allows you to mitigate or prevent hacking. With a dark web monitoring tool, you can subscribe to a feed of threat intelligence without the need to hire an expert to seek out, aggregate, and analyze it manually.
2. Threat Hunting: Our dark web monitoring service identifies emerging threats and protects you from targeted attacks, such as fake hacking. The service assumes that an adversary is behind your system and launches an investigation to identify unusual behavior which indicates the presence of malicious activity.
3. Faster incident response: Without dark web monitoring, you may spend months not knowing that a data breach occurred. Aegisys Dark web monitoring enables you to promptly identify when your sensitive information falls into the hands of cybercriminals. This, in turn, helps you reduce the overall window of opportunity criminals have to make copies of sensitive data and sell it.
4. Integration into security platforms: Aegisys integrates the data collected by a dark web monitoring platform into your other Aegisys security systems. This allows you to create more accurate insights from the entire security stack.
