Panorays, a rapidly growing provider of automated third-party security lifecycle management, unveiled a security intelligence solution known as Dark Web Insights. The new feature enhances Panorays’ award-winning third-party security management solution and serves as an additional layer of cyber security protection. Using Panorays’ Dark Web Insights, companies can now become proactive about knowing in advance of in-the-wild threats to their supply chain. The evaluator company automatically receives a notification when there is abnormal activity on the Dark Web regarding the third party.
The new Dark Web feature checks mentions of a company’s third party on hacker forums and other nefarious marketplaces. It provides the ability to monitor potentially malicious hacker chatter about opportunities to target the third party, sell databases of personal information or take advantage of system weaknesses for financial benefit.
“With the latest rash of misconfigured servers and data leaks, many companies have discovered too late that a significant breach has occurred,” said Noam Maman, VP Product of Panorays. “Many third-party security solutions assess the attack surface of vendors, but do not venture into the Dark Web. With Panorays, companies receive further necessary visibility into the security posture of their third parties.”
