Business context

As cyberattacks grow more sophisticated, organizations face increasing risks not only within their networks but also from sensitive data exposed on the dark web. Compromised credentials, internal documents, and access points can be traded or leaked without detection, leading to severe financial, operational, and reputational damage. Proactive dark web monitoring extends visibility beyond traditional defenses, enabling early threat detection, incident containment, and stronger protection of critical assets and compliance posture.

Our Solution

Through our partnership with Cognyte, Expertware now offers a next-level Dark Web Management service that delivers deep visibility into threats lurking outside your traditional perimeter. Cognyte’s investigative analytics platform fuses and analyzes large volumes of structured and unstructured data, enabling correlation of insights from the deep and dark web, threat actor behavior, and external intelligence.

We integrate this capability with our security stack to provide:

• External Attack Surface & Vulnerability Visibility — scanning and monitoring of internet-facing assets, cloud services, misconfigurations, and exposed endpoints. Cognyte+1
• Dark Web Monitoring & Credential Leak Detection — continuous tracking of forums, marketplaces, and credential dump sites to catch compromised credentials or leaked data tied to your organization. Cognyte+1

In practice, Expertware uses this solution to complement our existing behavioral, detection, and response capabilities. The integrated stack allows us to expand our view beyond internal telemetry - we can surface threats before they impact your environment, enabling proactive defense.

By combining Cognyte’s advanced analytics and dark web intelligence with Expertware’s experience in cybersecurity, we help organizations manage risk, enforce compliance, and build robust digital resilience.

What is External Attack Surface Management (EASM)?

External attack surface management is the continuous discovery, monitoring, evaluation, prioritization and remediation of internet-exposed assets and attack vectors.

Unlike traditional asset discovery found in IT hygiene tools, EASM looks at your environment through the eyes of an attacker. It enumerates not only sanctioned systems but also unknown, shadow and third-party assets — and, when coupled with darknet intelligence, it correlates exposure with real-world adversary activity.

External Attack Surface Management& Darknet Intelligence — Expertware

See everything attackers see. Fix what matters first. Get alerted when your data shows up where it shouldn’t.

Why it matters:

What’s inside:

What you get (outcomes):

• Shadow IT under control: unknown assets identified and actioned.
• Fewer critical exposures: measurable reduction in high-risk findings month over month.
• Early warning: leaked creds/brand abuse detected and contained.
• Time to remediate that sticks: tracked from alert to closure.

Our Added Value

• See everything, everywhere: real-time discovery of all your internet-facing assets—domains, subdomains, IPs, ports, certificates, SaaS tenants, storage, APIs. No more unknown risks lurking in the shadows.
• Actionable context: we map ownership, teams, systems, and business criticality so you know what to tackle first. Noise? Eliminated.
• Prioritized risk, smarter decisions: vulnerabilities scored on visibility, exploitability, and business impact—so your team acts on what matters most.
• Darknet insights, early warning: continuous monitoring for leaked credentials, brand impersonation, fraud kits, and initial-access offers. Get evidence and guided takedown options before threats escalate.
• Control shadow IT: unknown assets discovered and managed before they become a problem.
• Measure your improvement: track reductions in high-risk exposures month over month—remediation that sticks.
• Expert-led, trusted results: certified security engineers and threat intelligence specialists guiding every action.
• Efficiency built-in: integrated monitoring and intelligence reduce duplication, speed up decisions, and optimize your security spend.
