What is the Dark Web?

Did you know the internet you use every day is just the tip of the iceberg?

  • Surface Web - The public, searchable part, think Google, news sites, and social media. Only about 4–10% of the entire internet!

  • Deep Web - Hidden behind logins and paywalls; your emails, banking, internal company data. This makes up 90–95% of the web.

  • Dark Web - A secretive corner, only accessible with special tools like Tor. Here, anonymity reigns, making it a hotspot for cyber-crime, ransomware, and stolen data.

Think the dark web isn’t your problem? Think again. The dark web is where today’s biggest threats are born. Are you watching?

Behind the scenes, cyber-criminals are selling stolen credentials, launching ransomware and advanced cyber-attacks, and leaking sensitive data at record rates. In 2024, the average ransom payment hit $2.7 million.

From Ransomware-as-a-Service to double extortion tactics, the dark web is constantly evolving, and so are the risks to organisations of every size. Thousands of victims are exposed on dark web leak sites; many are completely unaware their stolen credentials are for sale on these sites.

Swipe through to discover what’s beneath the iceberg, and how dark web monitoring protects your business.
