Spec score 7.4 #15 of 25 in Dark Web Monitoring Services

What it is

Symbol Cyber Threat Surveillance monitors internet sources for organizational data that may be exposed and records findings for compliance evidence. Customers can configure monitoring for domains, credentials, executive names, and custom keywords. Described sources include dark web forums, illicit marketplaces, paste sites, and encrypted chat channels. The product page describes continuous scanning, while the knowledge base says configured keywords are checked every 24 hours.

Symbol says its system filters raw data into high-confidence alerts and maintains an updated risk score. VIP monitoring covers C-suite targeting, doxxing attempts, and personal information exposure. Findings can be logged as NIST CSF and ISO 27001 evidence. Administrators can update statuses, leave notes, ignore or filter findings, and manage notifications; results and keywords can also be managed through the Symbol API. Result content is automatically removed after 30 days, and keyword allowances vary by plan. Pricing is not published; interested customers are directed to request a demo or quote. The service is intended for MSSPs, vCISOs, and businesses, and customers should contact Symbol Support to enable it.
