Bolster Security Using Dark Web Intelligence

The leading British Managed Threat Detection & Response provider, e2e-assure, has partnered with Searchlight Cyber, the Dark Web intelligence company and this collaboration will ensure the integration of Dark Web intelligence into the proactive monitoring of e2e-assure’s new and existing customers. 

Through Searchlight Cyber’s DarkIQ tooling, an organisation’s attributes, including domains and IPs, can be scanned over 475 billion Dark Web records. 

Analysts at 2e-assure’s can optimise the use of this intelligence by proactively updating detection logic to monitor for known threat actor behaviours and risks. As a result, transferring unknown risk into known and mitigated risk, preventing threat actors from striking prior to execution through agile and immediate response actions.

Through Searchlight Cyber, e2e-assure customers will also be able to continuously monitor the dark web for the earliest signs of criminals targeting suppliers and third-party partners.

The news comes following e2e-assure’s Threat Detection 2024 - Rejuvenating Cyber Defence Strategies report, which found that Threat Hunting capabilities, or lack thereof, was a key frustration cited by organisations that outsource their Security Operations Center (SOC). This is typically  is a subscription-based offering where a third-party provider manages and monitors a customers SOC, sometimes referred to as SOC as a Service (SOCaaS)

Threat Hunting capabilities were even lacking in security operations deemed by respondents to be ‘exceeding expectations,’ with 45% unconfident in their provider’s current use of threat intelligence

Ben Jones, Co-Founder and CEO of Searchlight Cyber, said “Companies are increasingly looking for Dark Web monitoring as part of their Managed Threat Detection & Response requirements, with an inherent understanding that many of the cyber security threats they are looking to face originate on hidden sites, markets and forums on the Dark Web.  

Chief Commercial Officer of e2e-assure, Tim Andersoncommented “The advent of AI has propelled Dark Web activity, in areas such as malware development, to unparalleled levels... This partnership is therefore essential in expanding our Threat Detection & Response capabilities, ensuring businesses’ cyber defences are shored up as threats continue to evolve.”

As part of the new partnership, e2e-assure and Searchlight Cyber are collaborating to offer free and non-committal Cyber Threat Intelligence Assessments and 1:1 Vulnerability Workshops at the International Cyber Expo in London's Olympia 24 -25th September. The assessments will uncover whether a business’ data has been exposed on dark web marketplaces, forums, and encrypted chats. 

From these findings, e2e-assure’s expert consultants will provide actionable recommendations on how this intelligence can be integrated into a business’ current 24/7 monitoring and defences to mature their cyber resilience, mapping against the MITRE Att&ck framework.
