Continuous Dark Web Monitoring
In the age of digital connectivity, the dark web poses a significant threat to both consumers and enterprises. Criminals use this hidden part of the internet to buy, sell, and trade stolen data, making it crucial for organizations to monitor for compromise.
SpyCloud offers unparalleled dark web monitoring solutions, leveraging advanced technology to provide early detection and proactive remediation of compromised data.
Advanced dark web monitoring for consumers and enterprises
The dark web enables criminals to trade contraband, including stolen credentials, away from the eyes of conventional search engines like Google or Bing. However, not all illicit activities occur on the dark web; much of it happens through private exchanges, encrypted chats, and closed groups. Traditional dark web monitoring tools often fall short, breached, malware-exfiltrated or successful phished data only after the data has been exposed for months or years.
SpyCloud’s Cybercrime Analytics revolutionizes dark web monitoring by infiltrating criminal communities to access data, often before it appears on the dark web. Our security researchers and proprietary technology surfaces this “recaptured data,” transforming it into actionable insights. This early detection and remediation capability gives organizations a head start in mitigating risks.

Extend protection to vendors & VIPs
Protect vendors logging into corporate systems as well as the personal accounts of senior executives, board members, and employees with privileged access.
How It Works
That’s not how SpyCloud operates.
Our security researchers gain access to the same data that fraudsters are using to target your business and your customers. Through our proprietary technology and tradecraft, we surface this “recaptured data” – including credentials, PII, credit card numbers, bank account info, and more – before it is used to cause harm. The earlier that breaches, malware-exfiltrated data, and successful phished data are discovered, the faster you can mitigate the risk and prevent collateral damage to your employees and customers – but it all depends on the quality and quantity of data you have at your fingertips

SpyCloud dark web monitoring FAQs
Our data is easily consumed by product teams through a high-volume API. We supply documentation and best practices so you can begin using it right away.
The speed of our collection efforts, accuracy and actionability of our data, and ease of use set us apart. SpyCloud boasts the largest database and the highest match rate of accounts being sold on underground markets, with data recaptured 9+ months ahead of other providers. And in a recent study of users after trialing a dark web and identity monitoring service built using SpyCloud’s data, 100% of users said they’d be willing to subscribe, 66% said they’d would leverage the service at least every 3 months, and 100% said they would recommend the service to friends or relatives. Just one example of the value we can deliver together.
We have built best practice email and app communications based on what prompts customers to reset passwords, without creating unnecessary fear. Check out our guide here. You can expect this type of guidance when you choose SpyCloud as your dark web data partner.
It may scare users – whether employees or consumers – to know that their device has been infected with malware and their identity data and credentials have been siphoned and shared on the dark web. Doing so is an urgent priority for enterprises, since these exposures open doors for ransowmare and other targeted attacks. For service providers, informing consumers requires a delicate hand. We provide best practices and communication templates for these scenarios. Check out one of our guides here for more information.
The “dark web” refers to the section of the internet that requires additional privacy support from visitors that can be provided by services like Tor and I2P. Entities (including websites) within the “dark web” are known as hidden services, and due to the access requirements for these services, they are not indexed by commonly used search engines like Google. Naturally, some criminals take advantage of this extra security and privacy to buy, sell, and trade all manner of contraband, including stolen credentials.
Complete cyber protection requires more than traditional dark web monitoring.
