Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
Mainstream browsers are heavily monitored to help combat cybercrime, but these browsers are generally not used by digital criminals. The 'dark web' operates outside of the legal web, with criminals using such platforms to sell login details and other sensitive information.
SpyCloud provides a web plugin that monitors websites and forums on the dark web to inform companies of when sensitive data that matches their credentials is located. This allows companies to identify and take action upon a data breach before any harm can be done.
There are many fraud and cybercrime detection software companies on the market but SpyCloud's unique specialisation in monitoring the darkweb has carved it out a distinct niche. This has seen it attract significant funding over recent years as well as the custom of over 500 enterprises, including half of the Fortune 10.
