What is a dark web
monitoring?
With our Dark Web Monitoring service, we protect companies from unauthorised access to company data or the entire IT infrastructure. To do this, our specially developed search engines scan thousands of platforms on the Dark Web around the clock. As soon as a breach occurs, you, as the IT manager, will immediately receive an automated email with all known information about the hit. This gives you the opportunity to react in good time and change the passwords in your company.
Early warning system against
data misuse
With our Dark Web Monitoring service, system houses and IT managers receive proactive notifications before attackers can cause damage by selling company data. You benefit from the expertise of our experienced IT security experts, who assess the risk and recommend appropriate countermeasures. The service strengthens your security strategy, minimises cyber risks and provides proactive protection.
What happens on the dark web?
The dark web is an unregulated part of the internet that is deliberately hidden and cannot be accessed via standard web browsers. It is not monitored and does not follow any rules or laws. On the ‘light’ side, the dark web is used, for example, by people who want to communicate freely without censorship or fear of persecution. The dark side, on the other hand, is indeed dark. It is home to marketplaces for drug and arms trafficking, credit card fraud, document forgery, gambling, illegal pornography, malicious viruses and spyware. It is an oasis for cybercriminals to sell stolen data.
How does data end up on the dark web?
Mobile phone providers, online retailers, payment services, multimedia portals, software companies and mail hosts – no system is safe from hackers. They often target the theft of millions of pieces of customer data. In principle, any online service can be the target of such an attack. Cybercriminals then offer the data unencrypted for free or for sale in forums on the dark web. Currently, over 25 billion access data can be found on the dark web, and the number is constantly growing. This includes user password combinations and other access data belonging to people in companies.
How can I protect my company from this?
Firstly, you should never use the same password for different services and change your passwords regularly. It is best to use a password manager for this. Secondly, we recommend our Dark Web Monitoring service. Our search engines thoroughly scan even the darkest corners of the web. You will receive a proactive email notification if passwords, access data, etc. relating to your company’s domain are found. The affected person can then immediately change passwords and access data, rendering the stolen data unusable for cybercriminals. This feature protects against unauthorised persons gaining access to company data or the entire IT infrastructure.
How does dark web monitoring work?
Our analysis covers various dark web sources such as forums, marketplaces, chat rooms and other hidden networks where stolen data, identities or other sensitive information is traded. Our special monitoring tools and technologies search the dark web in real time to detect signs of threats or leaks. As soon as the system detects suspicious or stolen data, a notification is immediately sent to you. These alerts enable you to respond quickly. In addition to detecting breaches, our IT security specialists provide you with preventive measures, such as the introduction of better security practices, multi-factor authentication, or ongoing training on cyber security. Our dark web monitoring is an ongoing process. The data and threats on the dark web are constantly changing, which is why monitoring is regularly adjusted to ensure that information and IT protection are always up to date.
Detecting stolen data in good time
With Dark Web Monitoring, we continuously search the dark web for stolen or compromised data such as email addresses. Our specially developed monitoring tools scan hidden networks in real time and immediately notify the affected parties if anything suspicious is found. Our IT security experts analyse the threats discovered, assess the risks and provide you with recommendations for action, such as changing passwords. Our Dark Web Monitoring enables an early response to potential threats and is therefore part of a comprehensive IT protection against cyber attacks.
