Dark Web Monitoring

What Is Dark Web Monitoring?

Dark web monitoring continuously scans hidden sites such as encrypted forums, marketplaces, and chatrooms, looking for mentions of your business, domains, credentials, and other sensitive data. It blends automated search tools with expert review to filter out false positives and deliver verified alerts that matter.

By catching leaks early, you reduce regulatory exposure, breach recovery costs, and reputational harm.

Threat Actor Insights & Supply Chain Vigilance

Monitor chatter in forums and marketplaces to uncover third-party risks or emerging attack techniques.
