Last year saw a 429% increase in the number of corporate login details with plaintext passwords exposed on the dark web.

Luckily, organizations are not totally helpless when it comes to its passwords being put up for sale on the dark web.

Even if your employees do everything right when it comes to passwords, your organization's corporate credentials could still appear on the dark web.

Changing passwords regularly can help ensure that even if your organization's corporate credentials appear on the dark web, they will no longer be "Fresh" and less useful to cybercriminals.

If you suspect that your organization's corporate credentials have been exposed on the dark web, you can run a dark web scan.

Dark web monitoring tools scan the dark web on your behalf, notifying you as soon as they come across any compromised credentials for sale that belong to your company.
