Dark Web Dashboard

The Dark Web Dashboard gives your security team visibility into threats that originate beyond the surface web, on the deep web and on criminal marketplaces. As a proactive dark web monitoring solution, it delivers a real-time snapshot of how your enterprise is targeted, referenced, or exposed on dark web sources, helping you maintain continuous monitoring to stay ahead of emerging cyber risks.

For example, you might notice a spike in exposed credentials and stolen personal information linked to your domain. The monitoring dashboard directs you straight to the relevant findings where you can review the associated breach data, including the source. From there, your team can decide what action to take, such as forcing password resets or mitigating account takeover risks. The sooner you act on these real-time alerts, the more you limit potential impact from targeted cyberattacks and data theft.

How Dark Web Monitoring Dashboard Widgets Work

Each widget in the dark web monitoring dashboard displays a snapshot of current cybersecurity metrics for specific identity entities, such as email domains for employees and customers, email addresses, employee names, or credit card BINs. Use these dark web monitoring tools and features to review data findings by type and investigate any area showing unusual dark web activity.

To expand a widget and see more detail:

• Select the double arrow toggle in the upper right corner.

To trace where data came from:

• Select the info icon next to the dark web threat intelligence data source name.

To view all associated findings for that entity:

• Select See Active Findings to go to a prefiltered list.
• For more, see Managing Dark Web Findings.

To filter by a different entity value:

• Select a new value from the dropdown at the top of the widget.

Dark Web Monitoring Workflows & Threat Detection

The dark web dashboard helps your cybersecurity team respond quickly when high-risk sensitive information appears on the dark web. Here are a few sample workflows that show how dark web monitoring services work to identify, prioritize, and neutralize cyber threats.
