Your business may have recently migrated some operations to the cloud because of its advantages, such as affordability, scalability, and simplicity. However, the technology isn’t a panacea for organizations concerned with data security. With many businesses moving to the cloud, hackers are also finding new ways to infiltrate systems and steal information.

It’s already a challenge for businesses of all sizes to deal with common cyberthreats such as malware, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and zero-day exploits. On top of these threats, the dark web is also quickly becoming a concern for most organizations.

There’s a popular myth that cybercriminals only target large businesses largely due to the belief that bigger firms hold more sensitive data. This isn’t really true, however. According to Verizon’s 2019 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), small businesses accounted for 43% of cyberattacks.

Cyberthreats are becoming more dangerous as hackers devise new methods to scam individuals and businesses out of their money and sensitive data. Security software designed to prevent today's attacks may be obsolete against more advanced threats tomorrow.

What comes to your mind when you hear the term “dark web”? Do you think of some sketchy area on the web where evil things happen? Or some place online where you can’t easily be found? The truth is, the dark web is a hidden part of the World Wide Web only accessible through a special web browser like TOR. This enables users and website owners to stay unidentified.
