Symbol Cyber Threat Surveillance
Symbol Cyber Threat Surveillance monitors internet sources for organizational data exposure and records findings for compliance evidence.
What Symbol Cyber Threat Surveillance is
Symbol Cyber Threat Surveillance monitors internet sources for organizational data exposure and records findings for compliance evidence. Customers can track domains, credentials, executive names, and custom keywords across dark web forums, illicit marketplaces, paste sites, and encrypted chat channels. The product describes continuous scanning, while the knowledge base says configured keywords are checked every 24 hours. Symbol says its system filters raw data into high-confidence alerts and maintains a risk score that reflects changes in external exposure. VIP monitoring covers C-suite targeting, doxxing attempts, and personal information exposure. Findings can be logged as NIST CSF and ISO 27001 compliance evidence. Administrators can change statuses, add notes, ignore or filter results, and enable or disable notifications. Results and keywords can also be managed through the Symbol API. Result content is automatically removed after 30 days, and keyword limits vary by plan. Pricing is available on request; customers interested in enabling the service are directed to contact Symbol Support. The service is intended for MSSPs, vCISOs, and businesses seeking to reduce cyber risk and improve compliance.
