In this article, we discuss the types of intelligence present on dark web spaces, and Fortra’s recommendations for data prioritization and subsequent application. With these recommendations, security teams will understand how to better identify and defend against attacks that originate in the dark web.
In this post, we take a look at Initial Access Brokers (IABs), popular ransomware affiliates that sell access to compromised networks.
The digital presence of today's enterprise looks very different than it did earlier in the year. The COVID-19 pandemic is forcing rapid change on how many businesses use technology. From transitioning to remote workforces to delivering new online services, digital transformation initiatives that would normally span years are happening in weeks and months.

So much so that a recent Gartner Emerging Technologies Report highlighted data leakage as a primary concern.
When the term data leak comes to mind, most enterprises think of the dark web. Although compromised information can damage an organization when distributed through gated and anonymous platforms, we are seeing social channels being used to allow for a more rapid and potentially destructive outcome.
