Dark Web Monitoring and Investigations

SHINE A LIGHT ON THE DARK WEB

Threat actors use the dark web to facilitate cybercrime. Within an underground ecosystem of closed forums, data leak blogs, instant messaging platforms, and marketplaces, actors plan attacks and trade goods and services such as stolen credentials, malware, and recruiting for cybercrime groups. Goods can often surface in these spaces before organizations are even aware there has been a breach, as well as information about potential targets of cyber attacks before they strike. These spaces on the dark web offer valuable cyber threat intelligence for organizations who want to transform their defensive position from reactive to proactive - if they know where to look.

YOUR WINDOW INTO THE DARK WEB 

Intel 471 monitors the cyber underground to detect threats to your organization to feed investigations and incident response.

DISMANTLE THE DIFFICULTIES 
OF DARK WEB MONITORING

• Many organizations struggle to gain oversight and access to the arenas where attackers communicate. Even in these spaces, threat actors try their best to protect their operations and will only communicate the details with trusted parties. Gaining trust  in these exclusive spaces can take years of patience and skill.
• The sooner an organization identifies activity on the dark web that may impact the organization, the faster they can act to remediate it. This means continuous monitoring of these spaces is key to their safety and success.
• Without context behind the alerting to instances of a threat - such as the sale of compromised credentials or stolen card details - information on outdated, duplicate, or misleading data can overwhelm an under-resourced team attempting to defend.

DRIVE DARK WEB MONITORING AND INVESTIGATION 
WITH INTEL 471 

Intel 471 is your window into the cyber underground.  Our unmatched threat intelligence and intelligence-driven security solutions help your security teams prevent, detect, and disrupt cyber threats that stem from the dark web, and power investigations to protect your organization.

Superior Visibility for Swift Response
We monitor key data points - closed forums, instant messaging groups, data leak blogs and underground marketplaces - to provide near-real-time visibility of the goods and conversations appearing there. Receive timely alerts when relevant items are traded or an attack is planned to take immediate action. Our sources are continuously updated to keep pace with the ever-evolving cybercrime landscape.

Enhance Insight at the Source
Our intelligence teams infiltrate key spaces where attackers conduct business and engage directly with sources for additional information that cannot be found elsewhere. We also provide malware insights from the command-and-control level. This offers a direct view into the nerve center of an attack to help analyze issued commands and lead infrastructure attribution.

Contextualize to Prioritize
Harness dashboards with intuitive filters to provide much needed context for investigations - such as the source of a credential exposure or if it is a fresh leak or recycled to know how best to prioritize your incident response and anticipate future threats. Pivot to intelligence reports to understand the threat actors behind these attacks to monitor for related activity to prevent further damage.

Enriched Threat Hunting
Our cyber human intelligence (HUMINT) means we understand the threat actors themselves, their behaviors, and the motives driving an attack. Our knowledge of actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) is shaped into queries within our HUNTER threat hunting packs so you can hunt for undetected threats using far more consistent indicators.
