Dark Web Monitoring Services For Businesses
Dark Web Scanning and Monitoring Services are used to determine whether any business information or data has been compromised.
The dark web is a hidden part of the internet where cybercriminals trade stolen data, including personal information, financial records, and login credentials. Dark web scanning is a proactive service that monitors the Dark Web to detect if your sensitive information has been compromised.
Dark Web Scanning Service
Dark Web scanning refers to the automated process of searching and monitoring the Dark Web for specific information or activities. Dark Web Scanning is used by organisations to protect against threats and breaches. Dark Web Scanning can help in detecting threats early, often before they manifest in the mainstream internet or result in significant damage.
At Ghost Enterprises our comprehensive suite of tools allows us to monitor, detect, and act on potential security threats in real-time, helping our clients avoid the most advanced cyber-attacks. Our Dark Web Monitoring and Scanning tools are used to search for mentions of our client’s corporate data, such as employee credentials, intellectual property, or customer information, which may indicate a data breach.
Dark web Scanning allows us as your Cyber Security Consultant to gather real-time intelligence about emerging threats, allowing us to take preemptive action to protect your organisation’s cyber security.
