ID Agent Senior Threat Analyst Duncan Miller took us on a tour of the deep and dark webs and explained what they are, why cybersecurity pros might want to browse them and how to find them. He also provided some do’s and don’ts for those ready to venture.
“I don't discourage people from going on the dark web, but do not do it on your work computer,” he said. “I go on every day as part of my job, and one time I forgot to go through the proper channels and our virtual private network (VPN) flipped out.”
He explained that the deep web is public internet content that has not been indexed while the dark web is an area of the internet that you can only access through special protocols.
On Coffee Break with CompTIA Councils, Chris Phillips, director of CompTIA's Industry Advisory Councils, and Ryan Walsh, chief channel officer at Pax8 and co-chair of the CompTIA Channel Advisory Board, run down a top 10 list of things to avoid when creating a channel plan.“In today’s environment, in particular if you’re dealing with small and medium-sized businesses that don’t have in-house IT—how to set it up, how to configure it, what policy to put in place, that would keep someone from going to an online marketplace. So, lesson learned, if you’re going into the channel assuming that customers buy direct that is a falsehood that we experienced.”
There are various reasons – some legitimate and some unsavory – that people visit the dark web. Among the legitimate reasons that Miller noted are reporters wanting to encrypt communication with their sources and threat analysts looking for credentials, personally identifiable information and other data related to their organization.
