Dark web is a part of the internet that’s intentionally hidden and cannot be accessed via standard search engines. Access requires special software—most commonly the Tor browser. Websites on the dark web are anonymous and often encrypted, making it a common space for illicit activity. For companies, the key concern is that stolen login credentials, customer databases, and sensitive documents often end up for sale or on public “dump” forums here.
Examples of real-world scenarios:
These examples show that dark web threats are often early warning signs of a much larger breach. Monitoring this space can help detect compromises before they escalate.
The deep web is neutral, but the dark web is high-risk. For businesses, it's critical to know whether their data or identity is exposed in these hidden areas.
Recommended steps:
Many companies react only once damage is visible. But threats often surface first on the dark web. You don’t need to visit it daily—but you do need to ensure your company isn’t silently exposed there.
