What is Dark Web Monitoring?
Dark Web Monitoring is the process of scanning the dark web for any stolen or compromised personal or business information. The dark web is a part of the internet that is not accessible through regular search engines and requires specific software to access it. It's often used by cybercriminals to buy, sell and trade illegal goods, including stolen data such as login credentials, credit card numbers, and other sensitive information.
Pentest People have released an innovative Dark Web Monitoring Service as a way to offer customers peace of mind that any mention of their brand, domain name, or specific data assets have not been compromised in a data breach and are not available on the Dark Web.

Using Custom Tools to Scan The Dark Web For Threats to Your Business
The Dark Web Monitoring Service leverages proprietary scanning tools that have been custom written by the experienced team of security researchers at Pentest People. These tools harness various manual search mechanisms and APIs that have been created from doing numerous Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) assignments. The service can be delivered purely as an alerting engine, alerting you when references to your data assets or found, or more as a managed service where an experienced member of the team manually verifies every finding and produces a risk report with a full remediating action plan.

Key Benefits of Dark Web Monitoring
Pro actively monitor the regular and Dark Web for the identification of your brand or data assets that may form a data breach.
Reduce the risk of a data breach damaging your organisation both financially through fines and to your reputation through the negative press associated with a breach
Leverage proprietary scanning tools otherwise unavailable for general searching on the Dark Web to uncover any potential data breach issues
Identify any potential data breach issues so you can take immediate action to reduce the risk posed by them to your security posture
Feel safe in the knowledge that the Dark Web is being proactively scanned for any mentions of your brand, domain, or data asset
What are the Dangers of Not Scanning The Dark Web?
Most Data Breaches are performed for financial gain. The cybercriminals exploit a vulnerability that results in a data breach and then extract the data. This data then has to be sold and the Dark Web, with its various underground forums and user groups is the place where the majority of this data is advertised.
It is quite common that the first a company knows about a data breach is when its data is identified for sale via the Dark Web. The attacker may have infiltrated the network and extracted the data without the company knowing and it is only when this data is listed for sale that the breach is identified, posthumously.
It is therefore imperative that you proactively scan the regular and Dark Web to add this scanning into your defence in depth strategy for risk management.

How Can Our Dark Web Monitoring Help?
Pentest People’s Dark Web Monitoring Service was designed to identify when a customers data is breached and posted to locations on the regular or dark web.
Unless you are performing this level of pro-active monitoring you are unaware of what data assets have been compromised and are publicly available on various dark web data sources.
By using the service you can identify if any issues arise and then take action to remediate against the issues identified.

What is the deliverable of the Dark Web Monitoring service?
The initial engagement produces a full Dark Web Monitoring report where the customer can identify any false positives before the service is tuned to the individual needs of the customer. Once this initial baselining is provided, the service then constantly looks for any new data identified from its numerous sources on the dark web and alerts are sent to the customer if anything of interest is identified.
