Data breaches are a REAL threat that you should plan for. Do you take this advice seriously?

A lot of Georgia based businesses don’t take this advice seriously, which is alarming since SMBs have a higher susceptibility of being successfully breached in comparison to larger corporations! There is a lack of knowledge and ability to plan for varying attacks, but you can take small steps to mitigate exposure to the threats before they gain access to your network.

Ask yourself these questions:

  • What monetary value is at stake if my business is successfully is hit with a cyber-attack?
  • Could I detrimentally affect the lives of my customers if their information gets into the wrong hands?
  • Would my business go bankrupt because of an attack?
Think about it this way, when it comes to experiencing a data breach, the odds are as high as 1 in 4. Therefore, you must understand the probability of being attacked, how your business could be affected, and which factors can reduce or increase the impact and cost of your data breach.  You have to compare the cost of preventing an attack versus recovering from an attack.  What is the value you put on protecting your network with the most up to date security offerings? Once you have answered the questions above, this answer should be clear as day.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS THE DARK WEB?

The Dark Web is a hidden universe contained within the “Deep Web”- a sub- layer of the Internet that is hidden from conventional search engines. Search engines like Google, BING and Yahoo only search .04% of the indexed or “surface” Internet. The other 99.96% of the Web consists of databases, private academic and government networks, and the Dark Web. The Dark Web is estimated at 550 times larger than the surface Web and growing. Because you can operate anonymously, the Dark Web holds a wealth of stolen data and illegal activity.
HOW DOES DARK WEB ID HELP PROTECT MY ORGANIZATION?
Our service is designed to help both public and private sector organizations detect and mitigate cyber threats that leverage stolen email addresses and passwords. Dark Web ID leverages a combination of human and artificial intelligence that scours botnets, criminal chat rooms, blogs, Websites and bulletin boards, Peer to Peer networks, forums, private networks, and other black- market sites 24/7, 365 days a year to identify stolen credentials and other personally identifiable information (PII).

HOW ARE THE STOLEN OR EXPOSED CREDENTIALS FOUND ON THE DARK WEB?

Dark Web ID focuses on cyber threats that are specific to our clients’ environments. We monitor the Dark Web and the criminal hacker underground for exposure of our clients’ credentials to malicious individuals. We accomplish this by looking specifically for our clients’ top level email domains. When a credential is identified, we harvest it. While we harvest data from typical hacker sites like Pastebin, a lot of our data originates from sites that require credibility or a membership within the hacker community to enter. To that end, we monitor over 500 distinct Internet relay chatroom (IRC) channels, 600,000 private Websites, 600 twitter feeds, and execute 10,000 refined queries daily.

DOES THE IDENTIFICATION OF MY ORGANIZATION’S EXPOSED CREDENTIALS MEAN WE ARE BEING TARGETED BY HACKERS?

While we can’t say definitively that the data we’ve discovered has already been used to exploit your organization, the fact that we are able to identify this data should be very concerning. Organizations should consult their internal or external IT and/or security teams to determine if they have suffered a cyber incident or data breach.
