Is your business on the dark web?
When everything works, you don’t hear anyone. But as soon as your IT becomes a risk, things can suddenly move fast. Did you know that millions of logins and passwords are captured and shared every day in places you’d rather not go?
You may be thinking:
“That doesn’t happen to us.”
But the hard truth? Even trustworthy companies with strong security can become victims.
One weak link can be enough
The problem is not only in your own security, but also in that of your partners, suppliers and (former) employees. One forgotten account, a simple password someone uses everywhere, or an old file in a mailbox can already go wrong.
Did you know that actively monitoring leaked data and threats outside your organization perfectly aligns with the requirements of:
🔹 ISO27001
🔹 NEN7510
🔹 AVG
Proactively managing risk is simply part of being in a modern workplace.
3 questions to ask yourself
❓ How quickly would you know if your corporate accounts had fallen into the wrong hands?
❓ How quickly can you take action before abuse occurs?
❓ How do you connect your IT to that proactive management in your data security?
A modern workplace requires a proactive outlook
Don’t just look at what you see internally, but also at what’s happening outside your organization. The dark web, hacker forums and data breach lists are places you want better visibility, so you don’t have to fix after the fact what you could have prevented.
Ready to get a grip on threats you didn’t even think about?
