As was recently illustrated by the Microsoft hack, third-party and supply chain risk is a threat that every business is vulnerable to in our interconnected world. But not all of your vendors, service providers, or partners take information security seriously, and that creates risk for your business.
Over 90% of US businesses experienced a cybersecurity incident like a data breach in 2020 because of a third-party or supply chain risk. These businesses didn’t make a cybersecurity misstep themselves – another company created vulnerabilities for them. Often these are vulnerabilities that you won’t even know about until it’s too late.
Third-party and supply chain risk will continue to be a growing problem in 2021 and beyond. The data that cybercriminals glean from data breaches inevitably makes its way into dark web markets and data dumps, providing ample fuel for future cyberattacks. Data breaches exposed 36 billion records in the first half of 2020 alone, feeding plenty of cybercrime.
Are you positioned to gain the kind of intelligence that helps you get a clear picture of how stolen data may put your business at risk? If you’ve got Dark Web ID, you are. Dark Web ID sends up a red flag to warn you when your company’s credentials make an appearance on the dark web, enabling your security team to take care of that vulnerability before cybercriminals can exploit it.
This is just one increasing risk factor in 2020. As the fallout from the global pandemic settles, more risk from dark web sources will become a problem for businesses. Even cybercriminals have to work a little harder these days to make ends meet. Don’t let them snatch your piece of the pie – add dark web monitoring today to stay in the know about your company’s risk.
