Eye Security, a leader in cyber protection for European businesses, is excited to partner with DarkOwl, the leading provider of darknet data. This strategic partnership will allow Eye Security to better assess customer risks and increase their security posture to proactively prevent cyber incidents.

European mid-market businesses are finding themselves vulnerable to cyberattacks and targets of threat actors more frequently than ever. Eye Security, with its proactive risk assessment approach and data aggregation capabilities, will collaborate with DarkOwl to gather critical intelligence from the dark web, enhancing their customers’ security posture and addressing the challenges faced by non-enterprise businesses. To achieve this, Eye Security aggregates large amounts of data to provide actionable advice for customers.

Due to the dark web’s anonymous and privacy-centric nature, it facilitates a complex ecosystem of cybercrime and is a thriving ecosystem within the global internet infrastructure that many organizations struggle to incorporate into their security posture. However, it is an increasingly vital component for organizations with forward-thinking strategies. DarkOwl enables Eye Security to gather intelligence on malicious activity affecting clients, whether it be credential leaks to prevent business account compromise, the presence of customer data, or to enrich threat intelligence.

Mark Turnage, CEO of DarkOwl, stated “This partnership aligns perfectly with DarkOwl’s mission to empower organizations with the most comprehensive cybersecurity solutions. Together, we are committed to ensuring that European businesses – also those without cyber expertise –have the support they need to defend against evolving cyber threats.”

With the combined expertise of Eye Security and DarkOwl, this partnership will empower organizations in the region with a more comprehensive approach to protecting their digital assets and defending against cyberattacks. Cas Bilstra, Director of Intelligence at Eye Security: “We are thrilled to integrate dark web intelligence into our cyber security and incident response services, enabling us to safeguard our customers more effectively by providing increased visibility and delivering valuable actionable insights.”
