Dark Web and Its’ Impact on Security
The dark web, while often spoken about, is not well understood by the general public. With some legitimate uses, it is often more well known for being home to the selling and buying of drugs, other crimes. However, one of the more widely known uses is “buying and selling stolen information like user login credentials, sensitive personal information like social security numbers, payment card information,” as described by Verizon. This threat, while widely known, is still not always adequately addressed, and as we saw with the recent hack of AT&T, is having a huge impact on millions of Americans, and they may not even know it.
Israeli Technology Addressing the Issue
Already known as one of the world leaders in cybersecurity innovation, Israeli technology companies are always looking to make advancements toward making the digital world safer for the average person. This field requires constant monitoring and innovation within already existing technologies. We might not be hearing about it constantly, but most cybersecurity companies focused on threat detection are, at least in some form, monitoring threats on the deep and dark web. The companies helping to drive innovation in this area include:
