Dark Web Security: The New Black
April 3, 2018
Security threats on the general internet have been around since the first email was sent. But a new and more vengeful form of cybercrime is rising up from the Dark Web and the hiddenwebs, and companies are scrambling to fight it. We learned about one such organization in a recent Gov.uk story, “Cyber Security Firm Secures $26 Million Series C Funding.”
According to the story, Digital Shadows helps target threats on the everyday web, but also those more shadowy realms average people have no idea about. This financial boon will help in many ways, according to a spokesman:
“We intend to use this new funding to scale and grow on a global basis. We’ll also continue to invest in the product, and to stay ahead of anyone else, continually ensuring we can provide unique value to the customer… We will continue to work with organizations with 500+ employees, because they need the most help to protect themselves and their assets against digital risks.”
In addition to venture capital firms, governments, too, have been focusing attention on fighting this type of fraud too. The challenge is that security remains a cat and mouse game. Watch this blog for a link to our new video about Grayshift’s iPhone unlocking device. We point out in this video that Apple will button up loopholes, and the security arms race begins again. Dark Web security operates in the same manner. Expensive? Yes. Frustrating? Yes. Profitable for security firms? Yes.
