State of the Dark Web 2025

[Trevor Chandler]

Do you want to be cyber crooks at their own game?

Do you know what tools you need to guard your hen house - some are larger than
others, and require a different set of tools

I'm still prepping for my journey to the Dark Web!

The dark web isn't just a shadowy corner of the Internet!! It's a THRIVING marketplace
that's driving cybercrime on a massive scale.

Threat actors, armed with advanced AI, and ever-evolving tactics, are pushing businesses,
as well as public institutions, to their limits! Well! Well! Well! The bad guys are not only
using AI, but advanced AI!!!

Do you know:
- who the key players on the dark web
- the key marketplaces on the dark web
- how AI is boosting cybercriminal tactics
- strategies for monitoring dark web threats
- strategies for mitigating - yeah mitigating, cause you ain't gonna prevent - dark web threats
- the importance of threat intelligence for cybersecurity

What are you doing to ensure that cyber crooks don't get ahead of you - or is too late,
they're already way out in front!!!

-Tools such as Recorded Future, DarkOwl, or SpyCloud to track leaked credentials and emerging threats
5. Strategies for mitigating - yeah mitigating, cause you ain't gonna prevent - dark web threats
-Use zero-trust models, deploy CrowdStrike for endpoint protection, and implement SOC-as-a-Service for rapid responses
6. The importance of threat intelligence for cybersecurity
-Critical for predicting, preempting, and responding to cyber threats

It’s not too late to stay ahead.....We can outwit cybercriminals with AI-driven security, proactive tactics, and collaboration.
