Cyber criminals conduct their work on the open, deep, and dark web. To find them, you need to know where to look, have the right access, and understand what they are saying. If you can access these conversations and filter the noise to see what they’re saying about you, your organization, or your partners, you can anticipate and plan for threats or learn if you were already compromised.
- Open web: Also known as the surface or clear web, this is easily accessible data indexed by search engines—but it only comprises 10% of available information.
- Deep web: Most online information falls into this category, where data is not indexed by search engines; this includes academic networks and information that requires payment or registration.
- Dark web: This section of the internet requires special software (such as TOR) and configurations to access and criminal forums and marketplaces are typically hosted here (the "underground").
