Is Your Business at Risk on the Dark Web?
We Help Protect Your Tools and Your People
Every day, Australian businesses unknowingly face a silent but dangerous threat: their sensitive credentials are being sold or traded on the Dark Web. From stolen passwords to leaked login details, cybercriminals exploit these vulnerabilities to disrupt operations, steal data, and demand ransoms. With over $33 billion lost annually to cybercrime in Australia, the need for robust protection has never been greater.
At Sharp EIT Solutions, we provide a two-part solution to safeguard your business:
Protecting your tools through 24/7 Dark Web Monitoring.
Empowering your people with BullPhish ID Security Awareness Training.
Together, these services form a proactive defense against cyber threats, helping Australian businesses stay secure in an increasingly digital world.
#What Is the Dark Web, and Why Should You Care?
Australian businesses face mounting cybersecurity threats. A significant risk lies in compromised employee credentials, often found circulating on the Dark Web. Password reuse, inadequate security practices, and the growing sophistication of cybercriminals create vulnerabilities that no business can afford to ignore. Sharp EIT Solutions offers a comprehensive Dark Web Monitoring Service as part of our Managed IT Services to help Australian businesses stay ahead of these evolving threats.
The Dark Web is a hidden part of the internet where cybercriminals trade stolen data, including usernames, passwords, and other sensitive information. Alarmingly, compromised credentials often go unnoticed until they are used for malicious purposes.
Key statistics reveal the scale of the issue:
25.9 million credentials from Fortune 1000 companies are currently circulating on the Dark Web.
The average ransomware payment surged to AUD $870,000 in 2021, an 82% increase from the previous year.
Businesses with remote workers take an average of 316 days to detect and contain data breaches compared to 287 days for on-site teams.
Australian businesses, especially SMEs, are prime targets due to limited cybersecurity resources. This is why implementing proactive measures is critical.
#Protecting Your Tools with 24/7 Dark Web Monitoring
Sharp EIT Solutions’ Dark Web Monitoring Service is your first line of defense against cyber threats. By continuously scanning the Dark Web, we identify and investigate exposed credentials linked to your business email domains and IP addresses.
Key Features:
- Continuous Monitoring: Receive immediate alerts when your credentials are exposed. Early detection helps you act swiftly to reset passwords and close security gaps.
- Advanced Analytics: Gain actionable insights into industry trends, emerging risks, and your business’s specific vulnerabilities.
- Proactive Prevention: Reduce the risk of data breaches and financial losses caused by exposed credentials.
Imagine finding out your employees’ login details have been sold on the Dark Web. Without monitoring, these breaches could remain undetected until significant damage is done. Our tools ensure you’re always one step ahead of cybercriminals.
#Empowering Your People with BullPhish ID Training
While tools like Dark Web Monitoring are essential, the reality is that 90% of successful cyberattacks begin with human error. That’s why training your people is just as important as protecting your tools.
Sharp EIT Solutions offers BullPhish ID Security Awareness Training, which equips your team to recognise and prevent phishing threats.
How BullPhish ID Works:
- Phishing Simulations: Real-world scenarios teach employees to spot suspicious emails and avoid clicking harmful links.
- Ongoing Training Modules: Employees stay up-to-date on the latest cybersecurity risks.
- Empowerment Through Awareness: Build a culture of vigilance, turning your employees into your strongest line of defense.
Well-trained employees can spot phishing attempts before they become breaches, saving your business from potential disasters. With BullPhish ID, your team becomes an active participant in securing your business.
