🕵️ Dark Web Mentions Report

The Dark Web Mentions report provides visibility into potential cyber risks related to your organization and your third-party suppliers. By leveraging Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), this feature collects, analyzes, and categorizes dark web data to help you identify risks early and take preventive action—before a security incident or breach occurs.


🔍 How It Works

The Dark Web Mentions feature monitors hacker forums, underground communities, and illicit marketplaces for references related to your company or third parties.

It identifies potentially malicious chatter such as:

  • Discussions about opportunities to target a third party

  • Attempts to sell stolen databases or personal information

  • Conversations about exploiting system weaknesses for financial gain

All findings are enriched with contextual intelligence, allowing you to better assess risk severity and respond efficiently.
