Monitor the dark web for exposed employee credentialsGet notified when your users are exposed in a data breach with continuous monitoring and employee micro-training.
Your users' emails and passwords could already be compromised.
When company credentials are stolen by a hacker, there is a high chance they may end up exposed on the dark web, creating greater vulnerabilities as criminals can try to use personal stolen data to access a company’s network and do further harm, including:
- Installing malware
- Stealing sensitive customer and employee information
- Stealing vital intellectual property
- Transferring of funds
- Deleting important files or information
- Using ransomware to extort a large sum of money
- Modifying sensitive company information
Our Dark Web Monitoring solution is part of our Human Risk Management platform, which also includes Cyber Security Awareness Training, Simulated Phishing Attacks and Policy Management.

Benefits of Continuous Dark Web MonitoringCybercriminals target end users. Ongoing dark web monitoring is a must for businesses to stay safe.
Know before a breach happens
Stolen user credentials found on the dark web can indicate that your organization has been compromised and that you need to take immediate action. Cybercriminals constantly traffic and purchase stolen user credentials to infiltrate your environment and steal your data, which can be difficult to detect until it’s too late. By monitoring the dark web for threat intelligence about stolen user credentials, you can be alerted as soon as the compromise is detected, giving you an early detection avenue, so that you can respond to stop a potential widespread data breach.
Safeguard your employees accounts
Your employees often have access to the systems, information, and sensitive data in your environment. If their email credentials are compromised, the attacker may be able to gain access to other user accounts associated with that email address, or may be able to reuse the same user credentials to gain access to corporate systems.
Protect against bad password hygiene
Compromises and data breaches can often be traced back to poor user password hygiene. Users often demonstrate poor security practices, especially when it comes to usernames and passwords of their corporate and personal accounts. They often use their corporate email address for personal accounts, reuse the same password across multiple sites, rarely changing them. We help you safeguard your users’ credentials from compromise, despite their poor security hygiene.
Quick notifications of data breaches
Reduces the amount of time between the occurrence of a data breach and you finding out about it.
Shrinks window of opportunity for criminals
Reduces the amount of time criminals have to exploit your network by alerting you as soon as the beach is discovered and giving you time for proactive action.
Protects your employees and customers
Keeps your clients, employees, key executives, and high-profile personnel from being exploited on the Dark Web.
Dark Web Monitoring F.A.Q.
We often receive questions about Dark Web Monitoring that we offer, so we thought we would clear them up with some helpful FAQs below. Of course, you can also pick the phone up and speak with us as we would be more than happy to help.
What is the dark web?
The dark web is a hidden part of the world wide web that can only be accessed using a special software. Through the dark web, private computer networks can communicate and conduct business anonymously without divulging identifying information, such as a user’s location. It is a place where anonymity is prized and nefarious activities can run amok.
Like two people meeting in a dark alley to exchange cash for illegal goods, cybercriminals can meet anonymously on the dark web to buy and sell information which was stolen in a breach or aquired in a phishing attack.
Is the dark web illegal?
The dark web itself is not illegal, but illegal activity often takes place on the dark web. Because visitors can remain anonymous, it is extremely useful for cyber criminals who take part in illegal activities. For example, a cyber criminal may hack into a website and steal user data (like an email address, user name or password) and sell it on the dark web.
How does dark web monitoring work
Dark web monitoring proactively checks your employees’ email addresses against multiple databases of breached credentials. In the event that one of your employees’ email addresses has been compromised, you will be alerted and provided information on which account is at risk and how that data was breached.
What do I do if I get a dark web alert?
You should immediately change the password for the compromised account and any other accounts associated with that email address.
Does dark web monitoring scan the entire dark web?
You may hear the term “dark web scan” and wonder how it’s possible for a solution to scan the entire dark web, especially since it’s anonymous and so hard to access. When you hear the term “dark web scan”, what’s really happening is your credentials (like emails and usernames) are being checked against a database of credentials from known breaches.
Can dark web monitoring help my businesses?
Yes. The online security practices of end users affect the safety of the entire business. Weak and reused passwords can make it much easyier for hackers to get into an employees’ work account. Using dark web monitoring for your staff can help ensure that they are kept safe online.
