How Partners Use Searchlight Cyber's Dark Web Intelligence
Searchlight Cyber partners can use the company's DarkIQ dark web monitoring product to automatically track external threats across their customers' digital environments, the business indicated. Plus, they can leverage DarkIQ's multi-tenancy capability to switch between customer profiles and monitor the dark web for threats across their entire customer base.
Furthermore, Searchlight Cyber partners can access tactical 30-day licenses for one-off partner engagements such as security audits, penetration testing or incident response activities, the company said. They can also leverage branded, automated and customizable threat reports branded to offer additional value-added services.
Demand for Dark Web Intelligence Services Is Increasing
Sixty-five percent of MSSPs say that their customers have asked for threat intelligence from the dark web, according to a Searchlight Cyber survey of MSSPs released in February 2023. Among these MSSPs, 74% stated their customers’ interest has been increasing.
With Searchlight Cyber's new partner program, MSSPs and other technology providers can use the business' dark web intelligence products to "differentiate their offerings in the crowded cybersecurity market," CEO Ben Jones said. He added that they can also minimize their "demonstrate significant value to customers from day one."
Searchlight Cyber Visualizes Dark Web Traffic
The new channel partner program launch comes after Searchlight Cyber in October 2023 began offering dark web traffic visualizations via DarkIQ. These visualizations help organizations assess dark web traffic and segment data by incoming and outgoing traffic and look for signs that a cyberattack may be happening, the company said.
Searchlight Cyber provides dark web threat intelligence to help organizations identify and prevent criminal activity, the company noted. It offers dark web intelligence that comes from more than 850,000 dark web sites, 100,000 dark web marketplaces and 70 dark web forums.
