You may have heard of it before or wished upon a star for a place on the internet where you are untraceable – a place you can explore with complete anonymity. That virtual haven is known to its users as the Dark Web. Although complete anonymity is nearly impossible, surfing the Dark Web is the closest you can get to it. But what is it and how does it affect me? On Thursday, September 10, 2020 @ 2 PM EST, we took a deep dive into the Dark Web and looked at companies digital risk and how to protect their most important asset.

The reality is, once you’re exposed on the Dark Web, your information can never be completely removed or hidden. You can’t file a complaint or contact a support line to demand your data be removed.

Your company should immediately start taking appropriate steps and measures to correct or minimize the risks and potential damages associated with this exposed data. Identify, understand and learn from past mistakes or failures, and adopt a more proactive and preventative approach to your business’ cybersecurity strategies moving forward.
