Partnership advances Silobreaker’s data, offering enriched monitoring of deep, dark web and dark web adjacent sites to help identify risk at scale and drive better decision-making.

Silobreaker, a leading security and threat intelligence technology company, and DarkOwl, the leading provider of darknet data, are thrilled to announce their partnership. This collaboration will allow Silobreaker to integrate DarkOwl’s unmatched darknet data for credential monitoring. DarkOwl’s darknet monitoring continuously checks for exposed credentials in the darknet and darknet-adjacent sites, allowing Silobreaker to provide their customers with detailed alerting and analytics within a single platform.

Credential exposure can lead to significant reputational damage and financial losses, meaning that swift detection and response is crucial to minimizing the risks of credential misuse. Silobreaker’s credential monitoring product focuses on customers’ email domains, and checks deep and dark web sources, paste sites, data dumps and shared username/password lists on platforms like Telegram and Discord for exposure. Upon discovery, leaked credentials are made available to customers within the Silobreaker platform automatically, including details on when and where exposure took place and whether attached passwords are also found.

Due to its inherently anonymous and privacy-centric nature, the darknet facilitates a complex ecosystem of cybercrime and illicit goods and services trade. An extensive amount of sensitive information is available for download on the darknet and deep web, ranging in prices.The vast majority of cases result in hackers gaining illicit access to user accounts and either exploiting them for financial gain or using them to pivot into corporate network access to carry out more large-scale attacks.

“Detecting and triaging exposed credentials quickly and with minimum manual effort is crucial – the longer credentials are exposed, the greater the risk of compromise. Our latest integration with DarkOwl expands our eco system of data partners and provides customers with a cost-efficient, structured, and enhanced approach to credential monitoring,” said Kristofer Mansson, CEO, Silobreaker. “And with DarkOwl’s results seamlessly integrated into Silobreaker in alerts and visualized on searchable dashboards, security teams are equipped with the visibility they need to identify exposed credentials faster and more effectively.” DarkOwl CEO, Mark Turnage, added, “This collaboration aligns perfectly with our mission of empowering organizations with the most comprehensive cybersecurity solutions. Silobreaker is forward-thinking in incorporating darknet data into their solutions and we are delighted to be that provider as credential theft is surely to be a top threat in 2024.”

The addition of DarkOwl’s credential monitoring capabilities into Silobreaker provides organizations with an even broader, more comprehensive view of potential threats. This enables businesses to identify risks at scale before they escalate into critical incidents. It also drives better decision-making to prioritize resources most effectively and mitigate risk.
