Echosec Data Discovery Service Partners With Webhose

Echosec, a leading data discovery company, has formed a partnership with Webhose.io, a top third-party data provider and dark web monitoring service.

The partnership will leverage darknet intelligence to assist Echosec’s online intelligence offering through the addition of the Beacon platform and improve Echosec’s ability to detect cybersecurity threats to physical assets, information, and people. It allows users to quickly and efficiently search the dark web and filter data by category, the date the post was published, the URL the post originated from, the author handle and other advanced filters.

“We are proud to assist Echosec in delivering its Beacon platform with clean, structured Dark Web data that can assist in discovering threats on the dark web, learning about the attackers and their motives and prevent future attacks,” says Ran Geva, Webhose’s CEO.

The Beacon dark web discovery service for threat intelligence can be applied to a number of different verticals, including the prevention of counterfeit currency; credit card fraud; the identification of personal identity information (PII) data such as credit card details and passwords; discovering stolen retail goods; gift card fraud and conducting post-burglary investigations. In addition, public safety and security organizations can use it to easily monitor communication between threat actors and stay ahead of dark web marketplace activity.
