# DarkWebSonar

DarkWebSonar is a threat intelligence and brand protection platform that helps organizations detect and respond to dark web threats. We monitor ransomware groups, data leaks, breach repositories, stealer-log sources, lookalike domains, and underground forums in near real time and alert security teams when their organization, sector, or region is mentioned.

Our threat-actor profiles are built from proprietary DarkWebSonar telemetry — victim counts, activity timelines, sector and region breakdowns, and MITRE technique mapping — and are frequently the earliest or only real-time source on emerging actors.
