What is SOCRadar’s Advanced Dark Web Monitoring?

SOCRadar’s Advanced Dark Web Monitoring is a cutting-edge cybersecurity product designed to protect organizations from the various threats emerging from the dark web. The dark web is a part of the internet that isn’t indexed by traditional search engines and requires specific software to access. It’s often associated with illicit activities, making it a significant concern for businesses that want to protect sensitive information and maintain their reputation.

The foundation of SOCRadar’s proactive security approach stems from monitoring these dark web channels. Today, early indicators of significant cyber attacks often surface on the dark web. Numerous small details, like initial access sales, stealer logs, and PII of employees hidden among millions of stolen data, can escalate into major cyber attacks. That’s not all, impersonation attacks using stolen information and zero-day vulnerabilities offered for sale and countless other threats contribute to the potential threats.

So, let’s explain what SOCRadar does for you here.
