ECI’s Dark Web Monitoring service, powered by SpyCloud, the dark web is continuously monitored to help reduce risk from account takeover, by alerting clients should their credentials appear on it. Through early-warning breach detection, proactive actions (such as automatic password reset) can be initiated to help thwart the threat actors' attempts to do harm.

Challenge

Threat actors don’t have to break in when they can log in.

When credentials are stolen, such as usernames and passwords, they can be sold on the dark web to the highest bidder. These credentials can be used to gain access to business and personal accounts with the intent of doing significant financial and reputational harm to firms.

59% of people use their name or birthdate in their password. Almost two-thirds use the same password across multiple accounts.
