Glossary
Dark web monitoring is the continuous surveillance of criminal forums, marketplaces and leak sites for information about your organisation — so you can act before it’s used against you.
Definition
Dark web monitoring is the practice of continuously scanning the dark web, deep web and other criminal sources for data tied to your organisation — leaked credentials, stolen data, brand impersonation and attack planning. Because much of this activity happens out of sight on sites that aren’t indexed by search engines, monitoring gives security teams early warning of threats long before they surface as an incident. Attack Insights focuses on intelligence that is relevant to your brands, domains and people.
Why it matters
Stolen credentials are traded, access is sold and targets are discussed — often well before an attack lands. Visibility into those signals is the difference between proactive defence and incident response.
