Outpost24 launches tool to detect dark web credential leaks
Outpost24 has launched a free tool aimed at helping organisations identify whether their credentials have been exposed on the dark web.
The new product, known as the Outpost24 Credential Checker, enables organisations to check if their email domain is associated with credentials that have been leaked covertly online. This new offering is powered by the company's CompassDRP Digital Risk Protection solution, leveraging Outpost24's threat intelligence database to report on compromised credentials linked to a specified domain and its web assets.
Timely identification of credential exposure is regarded as critical for preventing data breaches. The company states that its Credential Checker provides a measure to spot leaked credentials before they cause serious harm, whatever the size of business. Our goal in offering our Outpost24 Credential Checker is to democratise threat intelligence and help everyone to be more secure. With our Outpost24 Credential Checker, we're offering a sneak peek into a small part of our threat intelligence knowledge base, but also making it accessible to everyone, especially those organisations with smaller budgets.
The tool is designed to be straightforward to use. Users input an email address connected to their corporate domain, after which the Credential Checker scans Outpost24's database - comprising billions of compromised credentials. Within minutes, a report is generated showing whether there is a match in known public breach repositories.
The free report provided to users details the number of stolen credentials discovered for a given domain and its related web assets. It also offers context on how the information may have been compromised, which includes naming prevalent malware or viruses identified as responsible for the data theft.
Outpost24 reports that the Credential Checker's threat intelligence capabilities are sourced from its CompassDRP platform. This solution provides security teams with a view over an organisation's digital attack surface as well as external threats in one cloud-based system. The platform brings together asset discovery from Outpost24's EASM platform with Digital Risk Protection modules. This permits continuous monitoring of both known and unknown public-facing internal assets in addition to external threat intelligence gathered from sources across the open, deep, and dark web.
When threats are identified, the system aims to prioritise them through contextual threat intelligence insights, which are intended to help security teams expedite remediation processes.
The launch of the Credential Checker adds to the company's range of tools to support security teams as they aim to stay ahead of emerging digital risks. Outpost24 provides Attack Surface Management solutions designed to help security teams stay ahead of evolving cyber threats. The company supports thousands of organisations worldwide by enabling them to identify, protect against, and monitor digital risks before they can be exploited.
Founded in 2001, Outpost24 is headquartered in Sweden and maintains a global presence with offices in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Belgium, and Spain. The company's services are aimed at enhancing visibility and control over potential vulnerabilities across digital infrastructures.
