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.

Dark Web Mentions affect susceptibility and exposure to cyber-attacks, digital risk levels, and security rating scores.
External Attack Surface
The existence of an organization's people, places, and objects on the dark web can affect its external attack surface resulting in increased susceptibility, the attraction of threat actors, reputational harm, legal repercussions, and lower security ratings are all possible effects.
Digital Risk
When an organization's sensitive information appears on the dark web, it can significantly impact its digital risk posture by making it more vulnerable to online threats, draw the attention of threat actors, harm its brand, and have negative legal and regulatory repercussions. It may also affect the organization's ability to partner and reputation. Organizations must monitor the dark web and proactively resolve any vulnerabilities or breaches to reduce these risks.
Third Party and Supply Chain Risk Management
When an organization's people, places, and things appear on the dark web, it can significantly impact third-party and supply chain risk and security, raising the organization's risk exposure, having an effect on compliance and regulations, harming its reputation, lowering its security ratings, and leave it more susceptible to supply chain attacks. Threat actors may exploit sensitive information made public on the dark web to access an organization's systems, data, partners, and vendors without authorization. The parties involved may also experience financial and legal repercussions as a result. Organizations should closely collaborate with their partners and providers and keep an eye on the dark web to reduce the risks their exposed information poses.
Security Rating
The visibility of an organization's data on the dark web can impact its security and result in higher risk exposure, harm to reputation, consequences for regulations and compliance, decreased digital risk posture, and decreased trustworthiness. Loss of trust, clients, and money are just a few adverse effects an organization may experience from having a lower security grade. Hence, enterprises must monitor the dark web and take the appropriate precautions to reduce risks to keep or raise their security rating.
