This free tool provides SMBs with critical insights into compromised credentials on the dark web
- Quadrant offers free Dark Web reports for small businesses
- Early detection helps prevent costly data leaks
- Small businesses are increasingly being targeted by cybercriminals
The Dark Web, a hidden part of the web where illegal activities often occur, has become a major marketplace for stolen data, including compromised corporate credentials, and as cyber attacks increase, organizations must remain vigilant.
This is especially true for small and medium-sized businesses, which may not have the same resources as larger enterprises.
In response to this need, Quadrant Information Security was launched Free Dark Web Reportsa new service that provides companies with crucial insights into what sensitive data, especially user data, has been leaked and may be for sale on the Dark Web.
Free Dark Web Report for Small and Medium Businesses
The service provides a monthly report highlighting newly discovered compromised credentials related to the organization and provides actionable insights, allowing organizations to implement timely measures such as enforcing password resets, increasing the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) or refining security policies.
Any discovered passwords or other confidential data are redacted to meet regulatory standards, so organizations can act on the information without risking further exposure.
Cybersecurity breaches involving compromised credentials are among the most common and dangerous types of attacks. Credentials can be collected through phishing schemes or security flaws and often find their way to the Dark Web, where they can be sold or misused by malicious actors, leading to costly data breaches or even identity theft.
Early detection of compromised credentials is one of the most effective ways to prevent a cybersecurity incident. By providing these reports, Quadrant enables organizations to quickly respond to any identified security breaches. Additionally, these reports can be especially useful for companies that do not have the internal resources to monitor the Dark Web themselves.
Quadrant’s Dark Web Reports can also identify high-risk users such as top executives, employees handling sensitive data, or any user with privileged access. By flagging compromised accounts or higher-risk users, organizations can prioritize their security efforts and implement targeted defensive measures, such as additional layers of authentication for these users.
“Many security leaders are shocked to see how much compromised data is on the Dark Web affecting their organization,” said Jeff Foresman, President of Services at Quadrant.
“This proactive discovery of compromised credentials helps businesses prevent costly breaches and data loss. These reports are informative and immediately actionable in implementing better security measures.”
