Managed Threat Detection & Response provider, e2e-assure, has partnered with Searchlight Cyber, the dark web intelligence company. This collaboration will ensure the integration of dark web intelligence into the proactive monitoring of e2e-assure’s new and existing customers.
Searchlight Cyber’s DarkIQ scans 475 billion dark web records using domains and IPs to identify risks. e2e-assure’s analysts update detection logic to monitor and mitigate threat actor behaviors, transforming unknown risks into actionable defenses.
This approach enables agile responses to prevent attacks before execution. Customers can also monitor the dark web for early signs of criminal activity targeting suppliers and third parties.
The announcement follows e2e-assure’s Threat Detection 2024 report, which highlights a lack of Threat Hunting capabilities as a major frustration for 27% of organizations outsourcing SOC-as-a-Service. Even among providers rated as ‘exceeding expectations,’ 45% of respondents expressed low confidence in their use of threat intelligence.
Ben Jones, Co-Founder and CEO of Searchlight Cyber, said:
“Companies are increasingly looking for dark web monitoring as part of their Managed Threat Detection & Response requirements, with an inherent understanding that many of the cyber security threats they are looking to face originate on hidden sites, markets and forums on the dark web.
“We’re pleased to form this partnership with e2e-assure, which is renowned for taking a forward-thinking approach to cyber security and the depth of knowledge and understanding within its team.
“The combination of our intelligence and e2e-assure’s expertise is a powerful offering for companies looking to combat dark web threats.”
Tim Anderson, Chief Commercial Officer of e2e-assure, said:
“Searchlight Cyber is providing businesses with leading threat intelligence at a time when attacks originating from the dark web have advanced significantly in recent years.
“The advent of AI has propelled dark web activity, in areas such as malware development, to unparalleled levels.
“This partnership is therefore essential in expanding our Threat Detection & Response capabilities. This will ensure businesses’ cyber defences are shored up as threats continue to evolve.”
As part of the new partnership, e2e-assure and Searchlight Cyber are collaborating to offer free and non-committal Cyber Threat Intelligence Assessments and 1:1 Vulnerability Workshops at e2e-assure’s stand (P61) at the International Cyber Expo.
The assessments will reveal whether dark web marketplaces, forums, and encrypted chats have exposed a business’s data. Based on these findings, e2e-assure’s expert consultants will offer actionable recommendations to integrate this intelligence into the business’s current 24/7 monitoring and defenses. They will also map these enhancements against the MITRE ATT&CK framework to strengthen cyber resilience.
