What is Dark Web Monitoring?

Dark Web Monitoring involves continuously a carefully curated set of scanning across darknet forums, marketplaces, chatrooms and leak sites to find any breaches of your organisation’s information where threat actors are known to share compromised information.

Our dark web monitoring service within CASM helps organisations by searching for any confidential information on the dark web, including login credentials, trade secrets and proprietary information.

Why CASM Includes It

While CASM excels at mapping your entire attack surface, human-led threat hunting extends this protection deeper – right into the dark web. It’s not just about surface vulnerabilities; it’s about catching malicious activity where attackers plan and trade.

Monitoring Dark Web Forums

There are a plethora of dark web forums and marketplaces where anything from zero-day software exploits and compromised email accounts to ransomware-as-a-service offerings or stolen credentials for VPN and edge device access.

These screenshots demonstrate the range of platforms monitored—from relatively accessible forums like Probiv (right), to more obscure marketplaces and sophisticated leak sites that require significant effort to access or infiltrate. 

Threat actors leverage diverse channels including open and obscured marketplaces, Telegram groups, ransomware leak sites, and underground hacker forums to trade or simply share stolen data, exploits, hacking services, ransomware tools, and compromised credentials.

Having the capacity to monitor activity across these varied environments is essential for identifying emerging threats and proactively defending your organisation’s assets.
