Crossword Cybersecurity PLC (AIM:CCS) group managing director Stuart Jubb joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of Trillion HarVista, a novel dark web search tool designed to enhance the capabilities of the Trillion Threat Intelligence suite of products.

Jubb explained that Trillion's core function is to monitor the dark web for stolen login credentials and passwords, aiding companies in defending against data breaches. HarVista extends this functionality by enabling security teams to identify additional threats through monitoring hacker discussions and other shared compromised data. It provides an early warning system for organisations, indicating potential targets of hacker groups.

The tool operates by creating offline copies of forums and chats, storing them on Crossword's servers, allowing security engineers to search for their company's information in a sanitized environment without directly removing threats but offering valuable threat intelligence.

Demand for HarVista appears strong, with interest from existing customers, consulting clients, advisory board members from notable companies, and new prospects facilitated by the company's partnership with TD Synnex. Crossword Cybersecurity anticipates significant growth, aiming to attract larger clients and utilise HarVista as an entry point for its broader product and services portfolio.
