Crossword Cybersecurity Plc, the cybersecurity solutions company focused on cyber strategy and risk has launched Trillion HarVista, a new product in its Trillion Threat Intelligence platform that for the first time allows enterprise security teams to safely gather threat intelligence from multiple dark web forums, discussion channels, ransomware sites and messaging platforms, without leaving a trail of activity or risking malware infection.
Trillion HarVista
As a groundbreaking threat intelligence tool, Trillion HarVista works by constantly scraping new posts, chats, and replies, creating keyword searchable indexes and screenshots with automated alerts based on the terms defined by an enterprise, such as a company name, or a known exploit.
It does this by creating ‘offline’ copies of forums and chats, stripping them of harmful content and attachments, before storing them on secure servers for a safe browsing experience. This data can then be tagged, searched, and analysed.
Keeping safely ahead of the threat actors
The dark web can provide insights that could make the difference between being in front of an attack or being a victim
Security defenders know that monitoring the dark web can provide insights that could make the difference between being in front of an attack or being a victim but accessing and tracking this underground information can be challenging, and the locals hostile.
It requires time and deft skill to avoid detection, which can place a company at higher risk of attack.
Proactive threat intelligence
Stuart Jubb, Group Managing Director from Crossword Cybersecurity Plc said, “For the first time, Trillion HarVista gives enterprise security professionals a new level of proactive threat intelligence and a safe way to secretly monitor the channels used by criminal communities and stay one step ahead in the race to keep organisations safer from attacks and data breaches."
Stuart Jubb adds, "Trillion HarVista takes the pain, risk, and endless hours out of monitoring the dark web, allowing security professionals to focus on analysis and action.”
Key features of Trillion HarVista
