Dark web monitoring vs security scanning
Standard security finds known threats. Dark web monitoring prevents future attacks
Why you need dark web monitoring vs basic security scanning
Traditional security tools only protect against active threats. But by the time your data appears on the dark web, it’s already compromised. Dark web monitoring acts as an early warning system, alerting you to exposed credentials and data before criminals can use them – giving you time to prevent attacks before they happen.
