The process of scanning the hidden parts of the internet to find out whether your organisational data is being compromised is called dark web monitoring.
Cyber threats are evolving at such a fast rate these days. They are becoming increasingly sophisticated and pervasive too. The dark web at times acts as a hub for various cybercriminal activities who perform dark web hunting to retrieve necessary information. Some of them include the sale of stolen data, malware distribution and coordination of cyberattacks.
The Internet is made up of many layers with each layer serving different purposes and accessibility levels. The topmost layer is the surface web which is a portion that interacts with users on a daily basis. These are the websites that are indexed by standard search engines like Google and Bing. Under the surface layer lies the deep web that consists of content that is not indexed by search engines like academic databases, private forums and subscription based services. Furthur beneath the dark web is a concealed segment of the internet that is accessible through specialised tools like the Tor dark web Browser.
As discussed the dark web is an anonymous layer that is intentionally hidden from the external world. This is the area that hosts legitimate activities and is sometimes a hub for illicit operations. This includes the trade of stolen data, malware distribution and other cybercriminal activities. This furtive environment poses significant challenges for organisations as it becomes difficult for them to protect their digital assets.
Dark Web Monitoring is the process of continuously scanning the web proactively and analyzing the dark web to detect potential threats to an organisation. The process deals with the searching of compromised data such as leaked credentials, intellectual property and other sensitive information that may have been exposed. Enterprises can take swift action to mitigate risks and threats proactively by identifying threats at an early stage.
Complementing this is the threat Intelligence which deals with collecting and analysing information about all the existing and also potential threats which will help in better decision making. When this feature is integrated with dark web monitoring, actionable insights can be derived from the dark web data that was collected. In this way organisations can understand the tactics, techniques and procedures of the underlying threat actors. The comprehensive understanding with the backing of reliable data allows for the development of cybersecurity strategies.
