DarkIQ is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform developed by Searchlight Cyber for continuous dark web monitoring and threat intelligence. It provides organizations with real-time visibility into dark web activity related to their digital assets, including domains, IPs, and credentials. DarkIQ leverages a comprehensive dataset of over 450 billion dark web records, covering marketplaces, forums, code repositories, and more. The platform automatically detects, categorizes, and alerts users to imminent threats, such as exposed credentials, open ports, and vulnerabilities, and offers actionable intelligence to prioritize and manage cyber risks. DarkIQ also features advanced dark web traffic monitoring, enabling organizations to identify both external and insider threats by analyzing connections between their network and the dark web. Automated reporting, AI-driven summarization, and multi-tenancy support make it suitable for organizations of all sizes and managed security service providers (MSSPs).
