Make sure your staff’s side hustle doesn’t involve selling you out.
When you hear about the Dark Web in the media, it sounds like an underground marketplace where nefarious types are buying, selling, and trading specific things, like stolen data or pirated software. But it’s also a hub for all sorts of shady moneymaking enterprises that don’t involve commodities – “as a service” offerings are a major profit center and that sector is rapidly growing.
Whether it’s administrator credentials for a system, proprietary algorithms, database access, or myriad other “services”, employees of big and small firms alike are trading them for cash on the Dark Web every day. Without a strong digital risk protection platform in place, your business could be harmed by malicious insiders and you might not even know it.
