We shine light on the dark corners of the web to help you protect your data.
Since the advent of the internet, we’ve seen amazing growth and development in what people can do with the power the internet provides. However, not everyone who uses the internet does so with honorable intentions, and those kinds of shady customers put your business at risk. In the hidden corners of the deep web, cybercriminals can buy and sell compromised data, logins, intellectual property, and more. At ByteGuard, we help small business owners defend themselves, their employees, and their customers from cyber threats, and deep web monitoring is one of the key services we provide.
The deep web is a term used to refer to parts of the internet that are not indexed by traditional search engines. While some of what goes on in the deep web is harmless, it’s a space where cybercriminals can operate, which means it’s a space that business owners should be aware of and monitor as part of their overall cybersecurity plan. Deep web monitoring involves scanning those hidden parts of the internet to look for things like:
- Leaked email addresses and passwords
- Compromised customer or employee data
- Mentions of your company on hacker forums or marketplaces
- Exposed financial information
- Indicators of impending cyberattacks, including social engineering and phishing campaigns.
Penetration Testing, Training & Deep Web Defense
While it’s easy to think that your business is too small to attract the attention of cybercriminals, the truth is quite the opposite. Cybercriminals often assume that small companies have less robust security infrastructure, making them an appealing target. A single compromised password can leave you vulnerable to threats such as ransomware attacks, identity theft, fraud, and compliance violations, all of which can have a damaging impact on your reputation and customer trust.
By using deep web monitoring, you get early warnings that help detect and eliminate threats before they escalate. If you’d like to learn more about our deep web monitoring services and how we can help you create a more secure cyber environment, please do not hesitate to contact us!
