Dark Web Presence

Unmasking the Shadows: ThreatNG Dark Web Investigation Module

The ThreatNG Dark Web Presence Investigation Module delves into the hidden corners of the internet, uncovering an organization's presence on the dark web and identifying potential associated digital risks. This module caters to the needs of external attack surface management (EASM) and digital risk protection (DRP), providing valuable insights for proactive security measures.

Prioritize Security Resources: Leverage Dark Web Insights for Proactive Risk Management

Enhanced Threat Detection

The module monitors the dark web for mentions of the organization and helps identify potential threats such as data breaches, ransomware attacks, and credential leaks.

Improved Incident Response

Early detection of dark web activity allows for a faster and more effective response to security incidents, minimizing potential damage.

Proactive Risk Mitigation

Security teams can prioritize mitigation strategies and allocate resources efficiently by understanding how the organization is perceived on the dark web.

The ThreatNG Dark Web Investigation Module is crucial in EASM and DRP strategies. By providing a window into the dark web, this module empowers organizations to stay ahead of potential threats and proactively protect their digital assets and reputation.

External Attack Surface Management (EASM)

Identification of Exposed Information: The module scans the dark web for mentions of the organization's data, such as employee credentials, customer information, or intellectual property. It helps identify potential attack vectors and allows immediate action to secure exposed data.
Ransomware Threat Assessment: The module helps assess the potential risk of a ransomware attack by detecting mentions of the organization in association with ransomware events. This information allows for proactive defense measures and incident response planning.
Compromised Infrastructure Detection: The module can identify compromised infrastructure related to the organization, such as compromised servers or hijacked domains. It helps eliminate potential attack vectors and regain control of compromised assets.

Digital Risk Protection (DRP)

Brand Reputation Monitoring: The module helps monitor the dark web for negative mentions of the organization or its brand. It allows for early detection of potential reputational damage and enables proactive measures to address negative sentiment.
Fraudulent Activity Detection: The module helps detect potential fraudulent activity and prevent further damage by identifying the presence of stolen credentials or leaked customer data associated with the organization.
Third-Party Vendor Risk Assessment: The module can assess third-party vendors' dark web presence, providing insights into their security posture and potential risks to the organization.

Ransomware External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection, Security Ratings, Cybersecurity Ratings

Ransomware Events

Discover, Assess, Report, and Monitor Organizations Associated with Ransomware Events

Managing an organization's external attack surface, digital risk, and security ratings must consider if it has been the target of a ransomware attack. This knowledge is valuable in comprehending the attack's nature, evaluating its consequences, controlling third-party risk, and raising security ratings. This information also offers valuable insights into the flaws and vulnerabilities that attackers exploit, the potential effects of upcoming assaults, the risk associated with third-party vendors, and how to improve your reputation as a reliable business partner. Organizations may lessen the risk of ransomware attacks and reduce the possible effects of any attacks that do take place by adopting a proactive security strategy.

Compromised Credentials

Discover, Assess, Report, and Monitor for Compromised Credentials

Knowledge of an organization's publicly documented compromised credentials is crucial for managing its external attack surface, digital risk, and security ratings. This knowledge informs more effective protection and reduces the risk of future attacks since compromised credentials can threaten an organization's external attack surface and online presence. These publicly documented compromised credentials can also affect an organization's security rating.

Dark Web Mentions

Discover, Assess, Report, and Monitor for any Mention of People, Places, or Things.

The dark web, accessible through specialized software and not indexed by search engines, must be monitored for organizations to control their external attack surface, digital risk, and security ratings. Dark web presence monitoring can help with risk analysis, identify prospective threats, manage security ratings, and improve incident response. Keeping an eye on the dark web is crucial to maintaining security in the modern digital environment.
