USE CASE: DARK WEB MONITORING
Continuous Dark Web Monitoring
The dark web is only one layer of the criminal underground, and by the time your data appears there, it’s often too late. SpyCloud provides dark web monitoring that goes deeper and gives you a critical time advantage – detecting exposed credentials and identity artifacts in private channels before they’re packaged, sold, or weaponized.
Get earlier, actionable visibility into compromised identities to prevent fraud, account takeover, and ransomware.

Advanced dark web monitoring for consumers and enterprises
The dark web enables threat actors to trade stolen credentials, PII, and access data, but most of this activity happens 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, identifying data only after the data has been exposed for months or years.
SpyCloud redefines dark web monitoring by infiltrating criminal networks to recapture breached, malware-exfiltrated, and successfully phished data directly from the source – often before it’s sold or leaked publicly. Our researchers and proprietary technology collect and structure this data for immediate use, enabling automated detection and remediation of exposed identities, credentials, and other high-risk assets. This early access gives organizations the power to act faster and reduce risk before threats turn into incidents.
How SpyCloud's monitoring goes beyond the dark web
SpyCloud illuminates the darkest corners of the criminal underground to deliver the earliest possible notification of exposed consumer and employee data, and offers easy integration into applications – as well as common security tools – for proactive response.
Get real-time push alerts when consumer or employee data is compromised – not months after it’s for sale on the dark web
The data seems to be a step ahead of other competitors. We’ve done POCs on multiple deep web monitoring solutions and this one had the most actionable data.
