Some industries, notably government, financial institutions, certain high-profile IT security businesses, and a few others, may have a need for more direct access to intelligence only directly available from sources on the dark web, Gartner analyst Mitchell Schneider tells CSO. Tools like extended detection and response (XDR) or services like managed detection and response (MDR) both commonly ingest data gleaned from sources on the dark web to identify compromised accounts, calculate risk, and provide context. Rather they can leverage tools and services that scan the dark web. Most businesses don’t need to perform dark web research directly. This requires individuals or services with skill sets enabling them to not only identify these sites, but to acquire data relevant to protecting corporate identities or data. ![]() Since dark web sites are frequently invite-only, gaining access typically requires infiltration by masquerading as a malicious user or someone in the market for stolen identity or corporate data. Tools that monitor the dark web for compromised data are available for these purposes. The dark web is also a source of intelligence on the operations, tactics, and intent of criminal groups. Gaining operational intelligence on what data these sites are offering is critical to defending cybercriminals using compromised accounts to enable attacks, commit fraud, or conduct campaigns using spear phishing or brand spoofing. It consists of sites that are not indexed by popular search engines such as Google, and the dark web includes marketplaces for data usually obtained as a result of a cyberattack such as compromised user accounts, identity information, or other confidential corporate information. The dark web is the place where every CISO hope their company’s data will not end up. ![]()
