Dark Web Monitoring is a cybersecurity practice that involves continuously scanning hidden areas of the internet, such as underground forums and marketplaces, to detect if sensitive information - like company credentials, personal data, or financial details - has been exposed or traded without authorization. These areas, collectively known as the dark web, are not indexed by conventional search engines and often host illegal activities. By monitoring these spaces, organizations can receive early warnings about data breaches or leaks, enabling them to take swift action to protect their assets and reduce the risk of cybercrime.
