By using the Vision UI and Search API from DarkOwl, a leading global provider for the collection and analysis of darknet data, 8com’s Security Operations Center can now also search specifically for compromised data in order to identify data leaks at an early stage and initiate security measures.

8com is now using DarkOwl’s Vision UI and Search API. DarkOwl specializes in the collection, analysis and provision of data from the darknet and offers the world’s largest commercially available database of darknet content, including over 746 million TOR records and more than 14 billion email addresses. DarkOwl is the industry’s leading provider of darknet data, offering the world’s largest commercially available database of darknet information. Using machine learning and human analysts, DarkOwl automatically, continuously and anonymously collects and indexes data from the dark web, deep web and other high-risk networks. The platform collects and stores data in near real-time so that darknet sites that frequently change their location, and availability can be securely queried without having to access the darknet directly.

“Leaked data is crucial in the fight against cybercriminals today. This information helps us to identify and protect potential future targets at an early stage. DarkOwl’s database is unrivaled in terms of both size and timeliness,” explains Götz Schartner, CEO of 8com. “DarkOwl CEO and Co-founder, Mark Turnage, adds, “We are proud to support 8com in their mission to proactively defend against cyber threats. Our partnership demonstrates how actionable darknet intelligence can be used to safeguard organizations and mitigate risk in an increasingly complex digital landscape.”

The 8com SOC uses the Search API to automatically search the database for its customers’ data in order to find out whether, for example, email addresses or other information such as passwords have already appeared in a leak. If there are any hits, the SOC analysts use the Vision UI to examine the results more closely and inform customers of their findings. If the specific case involves an actual attack for which more detailed information about the grouping is known, the data from the Vision UI is used to search for further threat indicators.
