An organization’s attack surface is ever-changing as digital footprints and cloud adoption grow, new business relationships are conceived, and employees work from anywhere. As a result, every device, application, network service, supplier, or employee can now be a target for initial compromise in the grand scheme of a threat actor campaign.

To mitigate risk, security teams need visibility into the global attack surface and deep and dark web. The required visibility includes establishing and monitoring a complete inventory of assets (known and unknown), how their brand is being discussed on dark web forums, and if there are signs of active or impending campaigns. Additionally, they need the ability to effectively operationalize insights and activity within a centralized platform to neutralize threat actor campaigns before the organization is impacted.
