DarkOwl Brings World’s Largest Database of Darknet Content to King & Union Avalon Cyber Analysis Platform Customers

Denver, CO – WEBWIRE – Thursday, June 25, 2020DarkOwl LLC, the Denver-based darknet big data cybersecurity company and King & Union, creator of the Avalon Cyber Analysis Platform, today announced a strategic partnership. DarkOwl will provide King & Union Avalon clients with access to DarkOwl Vision API, the world’s largest database of darknet content.

The partnership pairs DarkOwl’s extensive darknet data with King & Union Avalon’s enrichment user interface and easy visualization of data sets, enabling swift, accurate, and efficient company exposure, fraud, and actor attribution research. Avalon enhances the DarkOwl experience by streamlining queries into simple use case-based query calls and allows investigators to enrich the data using additional data sources, collaborate with others, draft context-specific reports, and tie finished data directly back into the security stack for immediate action.

Time is of the essence when trying to perform actor attribution. Investigators, including law enforcement and corporate intelligence analysts, can perform deep & dark web (DDW) research using DarkOwl Vision API and quickly unify, visualize, and enrich threat intelligence in a single workspace with Avalon to better understand data relationships.

Analysts are given the tools to find compromised sensitive data, conduct corporate exposure searches, and locate or identify threat actors through DarkOwl vision data, reducing the time to post-breach response. Avalon’s ability to preserve and reference past investigations can also aid the identification of repeat actors as analysts build upon their existing library of knowledge.

“What King & Union has done is remarkable; they have centralized a wide range of data sources on one integrated platform which provides limited time and fractional data access to their clients who may need this data only for discrete periods of time,” said DarkOwl CEO, Mark Turnage.

“We are thrilled to embark on this unique partnership where we will integrate our DarkOwl data into their platform.”“King & Union strives to provide security analysts with the high-quality threat intelligence, tools, and collaboration they need and bring them together in a single, integrated platform to help make their lives easier,” said John Cassidy, CEO, and Co-Founder, King & Union. “Our integration with DarkOwl will enhance analysts’ access to darknet content, providing the depth of threat intelligence they need for accurate, thorough investigations.”

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–DarkOwl LLC, a Denver-based cybersecurity company specializing in darknet data, is proud to announce that they are extending their cyber risk assessment work with Arceo.ai.

Arceo provides an end-to-end, turnkey platform that empowers the insurance ecosystem to efficiently transact cyber policies and understand their risk exposure across all markets.

DarkOwl’s DARKINT Scores supplement Arceo’s risk scoring to more accurately and efficiently measure cyber risk exposure on the darknet. Similar to a credit score, DARKINT Scores are based on relevant dark web data that can enable underwriters, re-insurers, brokers and the like to cast a wider net in the calculation of cyber risk.

DarkOwl CEO, Mark Turnage states, “Arceo.ai is a critical player in the cyber insurance industry, a best-in-breed, and we are proud to continue our partnership—which has been fruitful and very successful. There is much to be done regarding monitoring for cyber risk in the insurance industry, particularly in the darknet, and we make a powerful team with Arceo.”

“So much emphasis is put on checking the security posture on an enterprise, but a company’s exposure on the darknet is critical to understanding how well this posture has held up against criminal attackers. DarkOwl has been a great source of intelligence and highly flexible in integrating their product into a solution that can better serve our clients,” shares Dr. Ann Irvine, Head of Data Science at Arceo.

The Arceo platform provides all insurance stakeholders with a common framework powered by global cyber threat intelligence, state-of-the-art technical assessment, and advanced insurance analytics. Unlike static cyber risk scoring solutions, Arceo combines dynamic risk assessment with quoting and binding into one platform to streamline policy distribution and underwriting.

Going forward, Arceo and DarkOwl will be teaming up to conduct and provide research and insights into the effects of cyber risk exposure on the darknet.

About DarkOwl

DarkOwl was founded in 2016 with the mission of collecting the broadest dataset of darknet content available in the cyber-defense industry and making that data both accessible and valuable to its clients. By empowering its customers to have eyes on the darknet, DarkOwl enables organizations to fully understand their security posture, detect potential breaches, mitigate them quickly, and investigate even the furthest and most obscure reaches of the internet.

Darknet data specialist DarkOwl draws on BlueVoyant’s deep expertise to strengthen its security posture and protect critical assets and users

New York, NY (April 30th, 2020) – BlueVoyant, a global expert-driven cybersecurity services company, today announced that it has been selected by DarkOwl, providers of the world’s largest index of DarkNet content, to deliver a tailored and comprehensive Managed Security Service. BlueVoyant will provide its advanced Managed Detection and Response (MDR+) capabilities, including support from its team of skilled intelligence analysts and security experts, to protect endpoints, detect intrusion and defend against the latest and most sophisticated security threats.

DarkOwl enables organizations to safely search the world’s largest dataset of darknet content. Its Vision API enables its data to be directly integrated into a client’s native platforms, while its DarkINT risk scores simplify risk management based on the organization’s darknet footprint. Monitoring and alerting enable clients to quickly discover breached material appearing on the darknet.

As an expert in analyzing the cyber threat landscape, DarkOwl was looking for a security solution that goes beyond the current patchwork of point products and is instead modeled directly on the company’s unique data and activities, as Mark Turnage, CEO of DarkOwl, explains: “The threat landscape continues outpacing threat defense and it has become obvious that the existing model for protecting critical assets, end-users and endpoints is flawed. Instead of choosing yet another partial solution that can only determine threat and compromise based on triggered rulesets or known patterns of behavior, we chose BlueVoyant’s MDR+ approach to get ahead of the curve. By modeling its service on our data and the output of our activities BlueVoyant is able to detect issues and compromise much earlier.”

BlueVoyant’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR+) provides real-time and customized threat response and remediation – terminating malicious processes, isolating devices, and manually preventing persistence and lateral movement associated with sophisticated attacks. BlueVoyant incorporates client-driven rules of engagement (ROE) enabling immediate, decisive action to stop threats that could cripple a network versus non-critical events where a lower-tiered response may be appropriate. The service combines an expert team, comprehensive threat data analytics, and advanced technology solutions to deliver remote endpoint monitoring and protection, threat detection, and incident remediation. BlueVoyant MDR+ includes:

● 24/7/365 detection and response support by expert analysts with over 200 years of collective Security Operations and Threat Hunting experience who operate across multiple global locations

● Detection and blocking of malware, ransomware, zero-days, non-malware and file-less attacks

● Remote endpoint incident investigation and remediation led by BlueVoyant’s security operations specialists.

Support from highly skilled cybersecurity professionals to lift the burden from in-house teams was a key factor in DarkOwl’s decision to select BlueVoyant, as Mark Turnage explains: “Running this program ourselves is not a possibility and would deplete far too many resources from our core business, DarkNet Intelligence. We appreciate BlueVoyant’s ongoing model and execution of selecting and hiring the best-of-breed and most experienced staff.”

Mark continues: “DarkOwl was looking for best-in-class managed Endpoint Security and Threat/Compromise Detection and Response capabilities and found them in BlueVoyant. We see their services as remarkably robust and industry leading, and it made sense for DarkOwl to go with the best in the business.”

Jim Rosenthal, CEO, BlueVoyant comments: “The fast pace and complex evolution of the cyber threat landscape makes it hard for under-pressure internal teams to stay current with every emerging threat. The unrivalled knowledge and experience of our team, combined with our advanced technology and proprietary datasets, provides deep expertise and oversight that means clients like DarkOwl can be confident that their business is protected.”
