Using The Dark Web To Mitigate Risk

As monikers go, the “dark web” has certainly lived up to its name. A vast swath of the internet accessible only through special software that keeps users anonymous and untraceable, it is the preferred realm for criminals, threat actors and others who take part in a bustling online underground. Unfortunately, the dark web also poses threats to businesses that are as varied and significant as they are veiled in secrecy. The dark web is just one piece in a larger threat intelligence puzzle that encompasses social media, commercial and domain databases, and the open web. But it is a singularly difficult place to navigate and understand, even as industries increasingly realize it houses threats too big to ignore.
