What Dark Web IQ is
Dark Web IQ is a business monitoring service that looks for organizational access offered for sale on criminal networks. It aims to give organizations an opportunity to respond before attackers buy that access. Human analysts review findings before they become alerts, which include indicators, the source, and the actor associated with a finding. Customers can set criteria for domains, credentials, and vendors, and provide vendor or subsidiary watchlists. Its dashboard supports searching findings, reviewing alerts, and tracking exposure over time. Alerts can be delivered through the dashboard or email, or passed into customer tools through its API. Monitored data types include credentials, session tokens, single sign-on logins, domains, IPs, company mentions, exposed secrets, tokens, keys, and breach data. The service describes use cases for threat intelligence, security operations, third-party risk, incident response, and vulnerability management teams. Onboarding requires a domain and does not require agent installation or an integration project. A free exposure check returns results by email, with no sales call required. Pricing is available on request.
