BrandShield Unveils a New Dark Web Monitoring Platform to Detect Hidden Threat Networks That Compromise Security Systems

BrandShield, a leader in global digital risk protection, today announced the release of Dark Web Monitoring to protect brands from threats masked by the anonymity and encryption offered by the dark web.

The dark web is an intentionally hidden layer of the internet designed to facilitate private communication and illicit activities. With more than 40 million bitcoin transactions across 31 markets occurring on the dark web between 2011-2021, this layer of the internet has become a hotbed for trading information acquired from data leaks, credentials, and pre-packaged phishing attacks (phishing kits), among other illegal and counterfeit goods and services bought and sold by threat actors.

BrandShield’s Dark Web Monitoring combines advanced scraping methodologies with human intelligence to examine a range of dark web sources, including darknet websites and specialized forums. Covering a wide range of risks, from leaked credentials and sensitive personal data to intellectual property and ransomware, the platform also tracks secretive communication threads and infiltrates deep web communities that are the sources of ongoing threats.

“Despite intentions to foster free-flowing communication and a safe haven for those living within oppressive regimes, the dark web has become a haven for cybercrime due to its anonymous nature,” said BrandShield CEO Yoav Keren. “Dark web protection has become a key component of digital risk protection strategies to stay ahead of the millions of illicit transactions. Our focus is to protect brands from an ongoing array of threats, which often fall under the radar of traditional security measures.”

Key Benefits of Dark Web Monitoring include:

• Data Breach Insights: Stay informed with detailed notifications on compromised corporate data, including leaked sensitive information and access credentials.

• Phishing Protection: Safeguard against coordinated attacks and the distribution of phishing kits targeting your critical assets.

• Continuous Threat Monitoring: Utilize advanced AI and machine learning, including natural language processing, for comprehensive scans of dark web activities relevant to your brand.

BrandShield’s dark web monitoring underscores its commitment to providing comprehensive Digital Risk Protection management to world-renowned brands, including the likes of Tiffany, New Balance, and the Pharmaceutical Security Institute (PSI). The release follows BrandShield’s receipt of Frost & Sullivan’s 2023 Global Digital Risk Protection New Product Innovation and Best Practices Award for its work to stay ahead of emerging security threats and challenges.
