Why Searchlight › Dark Web Monitoring and Investigation

The most comprehensive dark web dataset

Access over 475 billion recaptured data points from the clear, deep, and dark web to identify threats earlier

Unlock access to 15+ years of research in internet anonymity and previously unobtainable dark web sources. Data includes details such as compromised usernames, crypto wallets, IP addresses, emails, cookies, financial, medical, and personal information that could be used in a social engineering or phishing attack on your organization, people, or customers.

Live and archived dark web data

Searchlight Cyber gives investigators, analysts, and threat intelligence teams, direct access to activity and hidden communication of cyber criminals on marketplaces, forums, and hidden chats - so they can defend against past, present, and future threats.

AI-powered data enrichment

All of Searchlight’s data holdings are instantly scanned for more than 50 different types of personal identifiers, which are then automatically tagged and indexed separately, making it easy to search, query, and prioritize threats long before they trigger detection systems or firewalls.

unique Dark web traffic monitoring technology

Spot the telltale dark web traffic patterns of insider threat, malicious code injection, or data exfiltration

Searchlight provides automated alerts to identify surges in Tor traffic to your network that could indicate your organization will soon be under attack, enabling security teams to take proactive measures to prevent an attack before it happens. This approach ensures that your team can proactively remediate attacks rather than merely trying to minimize their impact.

Identify anomalies in your network traffic before anyone else

Only Searchlight Cyber can give you visibility into all incoming and outgoing dark web traffic to any IP address, CIDR, or domain. All with no installation needed.

Defend against malware installation and data exfiltration

Spot malicious activity like large downloads or uploads from your dark web traffic logs. Security teams can then correlate these anomalies with other malicious activity – allowing you to look for indicators of breach, so you can take action long before attackers get anywhere near your network.

AI-powered translation optimized for dark web content

Instantly understand what criminals are saying on the dark web with translations you can trust

Our AI-powered translation tool has been trained on more than 167 million dark web data points and uses Neural Machine Translation (NMT) to translate with the same level of accuracy as a human – even when it comes to Russian dark web slang – so you can always decipher what criminals are really saying.

Understand the top 10 languages on the dark web

With in-platform translation, investigators and analysts can access precisely translated results in the top 10 most commonly used languages on the dark web, representing over 94% of non-English content. The full list of languages includes Russian, German, French, Spanish, Bulgarian, Indonesian, Turkish, Italian, Dutch, and Chinese.

Full context translations for dark web data

Instead of translating one word at a time like other tools, Searchlight's first understands the meaning of the sentence before then translating it into the target language the way a professional human translator would.
