In today’s digital age, identity theft has become an increasingly common threat to personal and professional security. As an HR professional, ensuring that employees’ personal information is safeguarded against the dangers of fraud and other malicious acts is crucial. Unfortunately, many organizations still fail to offer a robust Identity Theft and Credit Monitoring plan. Here are reasons why dark web & internet monitoring is so important and how it helps individuals protect their personal information.
1) Dark web & internet monitoring can detect unauthorized use of employee credentials: Often, hackers will use a stolen identity to access an organization’s sensitive information. With proper identity theft and monitoring in place, HR professionals can detect such instances early and take necessary steps to prevent further escalation of the breach.
2) Identification of malicious actors: Cybercriminals and fraudsters often use the dark web forums to share stolen information and sell it to other criminals. Internet monitoring tools can help identify the parties involved in an information breach and help people take appropriate action.
3) Prevent identity theft with early detection: Without proper monitoring, it may be challenging to identify and prevent an identity theft event. However, with the use of internet monitoring and timely detection, organizations can protect their employees and clients from the devastating effects of identity theft.
4) Mitigation of financial loss: In case of a breach, a victim can take timely steps to limit the damage caused to the company and its stakeholders. Identifying the scope of the data breach and timely efforts to contain it can reduce the extent of financial damage caused.
