Dark Web Scanning & Monitoring<\/h2>\n

Can Dark Web Monitoring Help Businesses?<\/h3>\n

Yes. The online security practices of end users affect the safety of the entire business. Weak and reused passwords can make it easier for hackers to get into a user’s work accounts just as easily as their personal accounts. Function4 web monitoring is available to all Function4 users, so they can ensure they are keeping themselves safe online.<\/p>\n

Dark web monitoring is the process of searching for and keeping track of personal information found on a portion of the internet not accessible via normal means. It is a search to identify if your personal information has been compromised.<\/p>\n

The dark web<\/a> is a hidden network of websites that requires a special web browser to access. It’s hidden from search engines and allows users to mask their IP addresses. The dark web’s privacy and anonymity means it serves as a venue for people who want to stay hidden, whether that’s for innocuous reasons, or because they’re involved in crime\u2014including identity theft.<\/p>\n

If someone has managed to steal your Social Security number or other identifying information, they may try to sell it on the dark web<\/a> to someone who wants to use it to commit fraud. <\/span>Professional dark web scanning<\/a> can help you keep your identity safe and, in doing so, protect your finances. <\/span>Explore Function-4’s <\/a>comprehensive cybersecurity solutions that safeguard your sensitive business information from emerging threats.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Do You Protect Your Identity From the Dark Web?<\/h2>\n

Don’t enter sensitive information on public computers. Keep passwords safe (don’t write them down), and change them often. Never email sensitive information such as social security numbers, credit card numbers or bank accounts, and driver’s license information.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Contact Function4 for Dark Web Scanning & Monitoring Services
