Dark Web Presence
Stop Chasing Ghosts. Hunt the Industrialized Extortionist with Legal-Grade Dark Web Attribution.
You aren’t fighting lone hackers in a basement anymore. You are fighting multinational corporations with HR, payroll, and supply chain systems.
In this era of Industrialized Extortion, legacy threat intelligence feeds that deliver raw, unconnected data are no longer an asset; they are a liability. They flood your dashboard with noise, creating a Contextual Certainty Deficit that paralyzes your decision-making and burns out your best people.
The ThreatNG Dark Web Presence Investigation Module is your countermeasure. We don’t just "monitor" the dark web; we provide the Legal-Grade Attribution you need to silence the noise, protect your board from regulatory liability, and disrupt the adversary's kill chain "Left of Boom" before they ever deploy the ransomware.
Ransomware Events
Powered by the specialized DarCache Ransomware Intelligence Repository, the Ransomware Events capability continuously monitors and indexes victim listings from active ransomware leak sites and extortion portals. This capability empowers organizations to rapidly identify if they or their supply chain partners have been targeted, providing immediate visibility into critical threats before sensitive data is fully exposed.
Compromised Credentials
Fueled by the DarCache Rupture Intelligence Repository, the Compromised Credentials capability actively scans underground marketplaces and data dumps for exposed login information associated with an organization's employees. This critical intelligence enables security teams to proactively identify leaked usernames and passwords, allowing immediate remediation before threat actors can exploit them for unauthorized access.
Dark Web Presence
Driven by the expansive DarCache Dark Web Intelligence Repository, the Dark Web Mentions capability continuously scans underground forums, marketplaces, and chat rooms for unauthorized references to an organization's assets or brand. This proactive surveillance provides security teams with crucial early warnings of potential threats and reputational risks, enabling them to disrupt malicious planning before it escalates into a direct attack.
3 Ways ThreatNG Transforms Your Defense from "Reactive" to "Resilient"
The Fiduciary Shield: Absolute Certainty in an Era of Zero-Tolerance Compliance
The Problem: From the EU’s NIS2 and GDPR to strict data privacy laws worldwide, the regulatory clock is ticking for every organization. In this environment of "guilty until proven innocent," every unverified Dark Web alert creates a liability trap. If you cannot instantly prove a threat is not material, you expose your organization to regulatory penalties and your leadership to questions of negligence.
The ThreatNG Solution: We replace "probabilistic" guessing with "deterministic" proof. By correlating DarCache Ransomware intelligence (who is attacking) with your confirmed internal assets (what is exposed), we provide a Legal-Grade Attribution record. You walk into the boardroom not with excuses but with the vindication of knowing exactly which threats matter and the defensible evidence to prove you exercised due care.
Eliminate the "Hidden Tax" on Your SOC
The Problem: Your SOC is paying a hidden tax, approximately $468,750 per year in wasted labor, chasing false positives and "ghosts" that have no business impact. This drudgery undermines morale and leads to "Operational Exhaustion" among your elite analysts.
The ThreatNG Solution: Liberate your team. Our Context Engine™ filters out the 90% of noise that doesn't matter. Using DarChain (Attack Path Intelligence), we automatically validate the attack path from a compromised credential to the exposed VPN. Your analysts stop churning through spreadsheets and start hunting the enemy, restoring their purpose and your operational efficiency.
Zero-Touch Reconnaissance with Patent-Protected Safety
The Problem: You know the intelligence is out there, but your "Blockers" (IT and Risk Compliance) won't let you access Tor nodes or underground forums due to the risk of malware infection or counter-surveillance.
The ThreatNG Solution: Investigate with absolute safety. Using our proprietary Sanitization Element (U.S. Patent 11,962,612), ThreatNG fetches, neutralizes, and presents a static, risk-free copy of Dark Web content. You get a fully Navigable Platform to gather evidence and understand attacker intent without a single packet from the adversary ever touching your corporate network.
How It Works: The DarChain Advantage
Most solutions show you a dot. ThreatNG shows you the line.
Our DarChain Attack Path Intelligence technology connects disparate attack signals into a cohesive narrative, allowing you to see the Industrialized Extortionist's playbook before they finish executing it. For example:
Step 1: The Signal.
DarCache Rupture (Compromised Credentials) identifies a compromised email account associated with a DevOps engineer.
Step 2: The Context.
DarCache Ransomware (Ransomware Gang Activity) flags that the "BlackCat" gang is actively buying access to your specific industry vertical.
Step 3: The Correlation.
DarChain Attack Path Intelligence maps that specific email to a forgotten subdomain takeover vulnerability on your network.
The Result:
You receive a Critical Choke Point alert. By resetting one password and reclaiming one subdomain, you break the chain. No ransomware is deployed. No ransom is paid. You win.
ThreatNG Dark Web Presence Investigation Module: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
General: Understanding the Problem & Solution
-
The Contextual Certainty Deficit™ is an industry-wide gap where security tools produce massive volumes of technical findings (like CVEs or open ports) without the business context needed to make them actionable. This creates a state of "defensive uncertainty," where CISOs know a threat exists but lack the undeniable evidence required to prioritize it. The ThreatNG solution addresses this gap by applying the FBI Digital Presence Triad framework (Feasibility, Believability, Impact) to transform technical noise into irrefutable, board-ready business intelligence.
-
Standard threat intelligence provides probabilities (e.g., "This IP address might be malicious"). Legal-Grade Attribution provides proof. By correlating DarCache Ransomware intelligence (who is attacking) with your specific internal assets (what is exposed) and verifying the attack path via the DarChain, ThreatNG creates a defensible record of due care. This is the difference between guessing a breach might happen and proving you stopped one—crucial for meeting SEC Item 1.05 disclosure requirements.
-
We no longer fight lone hackers; we fight Industrialized Extortionists—organized ransomware cartels with HR departments, payroll, and supply chains. They use automation to find victims. ThreatNG gives you the automated counter-intelligence to defeat them. By detecting their Ransomware Precursor signals (like credential sales in DarCache Rupture) and mapping them to your vulnerabilities, we allow you to disrupt their "business process" before they can deploy encryption.
Technical & Operational: Safety and Efficiency
-
es. Unlike competitors who rely on risky "burn boxes" or standard VPNs, ThreatNG utilizes a proprietary Sanitization Element (U.S. Patent 11,962,612). Our cloud-based agents fetch the content, strip all malicious code, scripts, and illegal imagery, and present a static, safe copy to your browser. Your network never touches the live Dark Web, ensuring Zero-Touch Reconnaissance.
-
The Hidden Tax is the massive financial drain caused by false positives. For a mid-sized enterprise, investigating non-actionable alerts ("ghost chasing") costs approximately $468,750 annually in wasted labor. ThreatNG eliminates this tax by using our Context Engine™ to filter out 90% of the noise. We only alert you when a threat has a validated path to impact, liberating your analysts to focus on real hunting.
-
The DarChain is our deterministic attack path mapping technology. It doesn't just show you a vulnerability; it shows you the sequence.
Example: It connects a Compromised Credential (Step 1) to an Exposed VPN (Step 2) to a specific Ransomware Gang targeting your sector (Step 3). This correlation allows you to identify the "Choke Point" and break the chain "Left of Boom" (before the breach occurs).
Business & Compliance: ROI and Liability
-
Under SEC Item 1.05, public companies have just four business days to disclose a "material" cybersecurity incident. To determine materiality quickly, you need context. ThreatNG provides the evidence required to prove whether a specific Dark Web threat is viable (material) or benign (non-material). This Legal-Grade Attribution serves as a personal liability shield for the C-suite, proving that the decision to disclose (or not disclose) was based on rigorous, validated intelligence.
-
Absolutely. You cannot install agents on your vendors' networks, but you can monitor their Dark Web Presence. ThreatNG allows you to perform purely external investigations on your supply chain. We alert you if a vendor’s Compromised Credentials are being sold or if they are mentioned in DarCache Ransomware leak sites, allowing you to secure your supply chain without waiting for the vendor to self-report a breach.
-
The module is fueled by the DarCache™ suite:
DarCache Ransomware: Tracks 100+ active ransomware gangs, their victims, and their specific Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs).
DarCache Rupture: A massive repository of compromised credentials (emails, passwords) sourced from breaches and stealer logs.
DarCache Dark Web: Monitors unindexed forums, marketplaces, and paste sites for mentions of your brand, assets, or VIPs.
