The ‘Dark Web’ is a threat to your business

The Dark Web is a name used describe the underbelly of the Internet. A sublayer that is hidden from conventional search engines, The Dark Web is a network of digital communities who operate outside of the regular websites that you’re familiar with – and whilst there are some legitimate uses for the Dark Web, it's most predominantly a marketplace for cybercrime.

And the commodity is digital credentials. These could be your businesses passwords, email accounts or sensitive data that have been obtained by cyber criminals, and are disclosed and sold throughout the Dark Web.


Protecting your business from the Dark Web

Unfortunately, most businesses will never find out their credentials have been disclosed illegally through the Dark Web until they’ve already fallen victim to a cyber-attack.

  • 85% of businesses with <1000 employees have been hacked, and most don’t even know
  • 80% of hacking-related breaches leveraged either stolen passwords and/or weak or guessable passwords
  • 2 BILLION email account credentials and 85 MILLION stolen personally identifiable information (PII) records (drivers license, passport number, DOB, etc.) for sale on the Dark Web
