NetSPI Introduces Dark Web Monitoring to Shield Against the Internet’s Hidden Threats

The new solution aids NetSPI’s External Attack Surface Management (EASM) with real-time threat detection and mitigation

Minneapolis, MN, July 9, 2025 – Today, NetSPI® announced the launch of its Dark Web Monitoring solution, now integrated into its EASM offering. This enhancement demonstrates the first of many leaps forward in helping organizations identify and mitigate emerging cybersecurity risks more effectively.  

With the inclusion of dark web monitoring, NetSPI’s EASM solution now provides centralized exposure intelligence, real-time trend monitoring, and actionable risk prioritization for assets outside their organization’s perimeter. By scanning hidden areas of the internet, where cybercriminals often exchange sensitive data, dark web monitoring helps organizations detect potential threats before they escalate into security breaches.  

“We’re at the point where we can’t limit our security programs to our organization’s ecosystem anymore,” said Scott Sutherland, NetSPI VP of Research. “We also need to focus on identifying valid threats that originate beyond the boundaries of our organizations. The dark web has become a marketplace for stolen credentials and leaked data that has the potential to cripple organizations. Our new Dark Web Dashboard empowers clients to see what attackers see, uncovering early warning signs of compromise and taking action before threats escalate. This launch is the first of many innovations in EASM with the goal of turning reactive security into proactive risk management.” 

NetSPI’s Dark Web Monitoring goes beyond basic threat detection by providing live insights into the evolving cybercriminal ecosystem and potential external public exposures. Security teams can easily identify risky dark web data, breach data, and public data exposures related to their organizations and prioritize remediation efforts, ensuring resources are allocated to the most critical vulnerabilities.  

“Dark web monitoring is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity,” said Aaron Shilts, NetSPI President and CEO. “The moment sensitive data appears outside your perimeter, the clock starts ticking. NetSPI’s new capability gives teams the visibility they need to respond before threats escalate into full-blown incidents.” 

This addition solidifies NetSPI’s position as a pioneer in proactive security, combining Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS), External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM), and Breach and Attack Simulation as a Service (BAS) into a single platform.
