Cyber criminals systematically search for vulnerabilities in a company’s IT and exploit them to carry out cyberattacks. They often use confidential information such as employee passwords that are available on social media, the internet, the deep web or the dark web.

The data can end up there due to carelessness on the part of the owner or after data breaches from external systems; for example, if the same passwords were used for both professional and private purposes on the Internet.

The owners of the data, users and companies alike, are usually unaware that confidential data is circulating on the internet or is for sale on illegal darknet marketplaces. Companies are well advised to regularly check whether and which of their sensitive information or data is circulating on the Internet in order to be able to close these security gaps in a targeted manner:

• Either through your own “manual” research samples of relevant websites as a first measure.

• Or professionally through systematically performed OSINT* scans, such as the agilimo Darkscan.
  (* OSINT = Open Source Intelligence)
