Threat vectors are linking from one source to another — from the dark web, to Telegram channels and many more. ML and AI enable us to automatically classify over a billion pieces of data and verify them, looking at those that are most critical and most relevant to the problem our customers are attempting to solve.
While the data does not include credit card or bank details, threat actors are able to use names and email addresses for further attacks, which could include phishing or fraud. With the use of this data, they’re able to gain trust from the retailer’s customers, coercing them into acting in a particular way, for instance, giving up bank details or clicking corrupted links.

Digital risk protectors such as Cyberint seek to discover a network’s weaknesses, the open doors or windows in the physical world as it were, before unwanted others do so.
