Why Monitoring Dark Web Traffic is Critical for Cybersecurity Teams

You’d be hard-pressed to find an organization that isn’t actively involved in network monitoring, a core aspect of everyday security workflows. Security teams are always monitoring their network activity for unusual traffic patterns that could indicate a threat.

However, if you were to ask the average security team if they monitor dark web traffic to and from their network, you might get a very different picture. The vast majority of organizations are not actively monitoring traffic originating from the dark web and reaching their public network, or traffic leaving their network and heading to the dark web. For security teams, this can be a significant missed opportunity to detect a threat or evolving attack in progress.
