In an era where large enterprises face increasingly sophisticated hackers and cyber attacks, Cybersixgill offers a proven solution that greatly reduces damages to organizations. Cybersixgill’s platform utilizes automated monitoring of closed, open, and hybrid Dark Web forums, where it collates and analyzes “big data” to create profiles and patterns of Dark Web users and their hidden social networks. This allows Cybersixgill to identify potential hackers based on their activities, and track them as they plan malicious and illegal activity. Cybersixgill’s platform can also be used to identify sensitive data leaks, expose illegal marketplaces, and warn of physical attacks.
“We’re very excited to utilize Cybersixgill’s platform to add to our cutting-edge cyber security services that we offer our clients,” said Ulises Castillo Hernández, CEO of Scitum. “This agreement will augment our already extensive cyber threat detection capabilities, and allow us to further mitigate malicious attacks and data leaks originating from the Dark Web.”
