Abstract

The dark web is a hidden part of the internet that is often used for illegal activities, including cybercrime, data breaches, and illicit trade. As cyber threats continue to evolve, organizations and security professionals are increasingly leveraging dark web threat intelligence to detect risks, monitor criminal activities, and prevent cyberattacks. This paper explores the significance of dark web threat intelligence, its sources, and the challenges associated with collecting and analyzing data from hidden marketplaces forums, and encrypted networks. Additionally, we discuss the role of automated tools and machine learning in identifying threats, along with ethical and legal concerns in dark web monitoring. By understanding dark web intelligence, organizations can strengthen their cybersecurity defenses and mitigate potential risks before they escalation.
