The dark web plays a critical role in the cybercrime ecosystem, serving as a hub for fraud, data breaches, and emerging threats that often evade detection by security teams. Threat actors exploit its anonymity to trade stolen credentials, leak sensitive data, coordinate attacks, and even issue threats against corporate executives, causing significant financial and reputational harm to organizations.

Fortra Brand Protection proactively monitors the dark web and provides enterprises with expert-curated intelligence to protect against brand threats and compromised credentials. 

Identify Brand Risks & Exposed Credentials

Text

Dark web forums and marketplaces provide threat actors with the covert environment they need to plan and execute attacks. Criminals collaborate to buy, sell, and trade resources such as stolen credentials and combo lists containing login and banking details. These transactions enable them to gain insider access to targeted organizations and steal sensitive data. The lack of visibility into these exchanges, along with unredacted credential lists that aren’t anonymized behind paywalls, makes it challenging for security teams to proactively defend against threats. Fortra Brand Protection offers comprehensive defense against dark web risks, safeguarding brands, employees, and customers alike.
