ADVANTAGE Now Delivers Dark Web Monitoring Services through ID Agent Partnership

Advantage announced its new Dark Web monitoring services provided through its partnership with ID Agent, provider of Dark Web monitoring and identity theft protection solutions. With Dark Web ID, Advantage offers around the clock monitoring and alerting for increasingly compromised digital credentials, scouring millions of sources, including botnets, criminal chat rooms, peer-to-peer networks, malicious websites, bulletin boards and illegal black market sites.

“We have a number of monitoring tools in our Revelation SIEM and SOC service which are utilised to discover and prevent attacks but was missing the part required to determine past breaches, until now”, says Steve Smith, Regional Executive at Advantage

The Dark Web is made up of various digital communities, and while there are legitimate purposes for the Dark Web, it is estimated that over 50 percent of all sites on the Dark Web today are used for criminal activities, including the disclosure and sale of digital credentials.

“Digital credentials such as usernames and passwords are widely used to connect to critical business applications – the reason these credentials are among the most valuable assets found on the Dark Web,” said Kevin Lancaster, CEO of ID Agent. “Unfortunately, the unaffordability of cyber offerings has played into the cyber poverty line experienced by small businesses. Dark Web ID, however, delivers an affordable model that provides small businesses with the same advanced credential monitoring capabilities used by Fortune 500 companies to organizations in the SMB and mid-market space.”

Dark Web ID is the IT Channel’s premier commercial solution to detect customers’ compromised credentials in real-time on the Dark Web. It vigilantly searches the most secretive corners of the Internet to find compromised data associated with your customers’ employees, contractors and other personnel, and notifies them immediately when these critical assets are compromised. The data provided by ID Agent through Dark Web ID is the most trusted and validated available.

Personal data protection is more important than ever in this digital world. The dark web is a secret part of the internet that is very dangerous because it is often used for illegal things like selling personal information.

The Zen of Zero Trust: Why even my coffee machine insists on an identity check.

Every morning, I stand before my coffee machine, a humble supplicant seeking caffeine. Sound familiar? Probably because you find yourself in much the same position (though in your home, not mine). But the coffee machine is wiser than it appears: It doesn’t care that I’ve spent years navigating the wilds of cybersecurity while exploring select espressos from Brazil and beyond.

Schrödinger’s Breach: The Uncertainty Principle in Cybersecurity.

A throwaway joke got me thinking recently. Any system that appears secure might just be that way because it hasn’t yet been compromised. And as we say in this game, there’s only two types of companies out there, those that have been breached and those that don’t know they’ve been breached.
