🕵️ 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.
