Publisher's Synopsis
The term "dark web" describes purposefully concealed content on the internet that can only be accessed with specialised software like Tor Browser. The deep web, which is all online content that isn't indexed by search engines, includes the dark web as a subset.
The darknet, a portion of the internet that is both not indexed by search engines and only accessible using a browser like Tor or through particular network setups, is where the dark web's content is located.
Not using Tor (The Onion Router) and a premium VPN (Virtual Private Network) like ExpressVPN, browsing the Dark Web can be risky. The Tor browser is a safe one that encrypts your data and routes your connection through the Onion network of volunteer-run servers to keep you anonymous online. However, this browser does not prevent your ISP from recognizing that you are using Tor itself.
The best thing about using the darknet is learning how your critical business information can be protected from hackers and cyber criminals.
Using the darknet is a practical way to improve your organisation's security posture. But only if you take preventive security measures, including darknet monitoring, conducting regular penetration testing to find any vulnerabilities in your network and implementing regular security awareness training for all employees to educate your workforce about how to spot and report cyber threats.
These hackers can cause major setbacks to your organisation. And it's important to take such preventive measures to minimise the number of cyber-attacks. You can also protect your organisation's data from hackers by using strong security measures.
