The traditional approach to cybersecurity, which focuses on detecting and responding to breaches after they occur, is becoming increasingly expensive and less effective. Instead, organizations are advised to adopt a pre-breach intelligence strategy. This involves actively monitoring and sometimes legally acquiring access to dark web marketplaces where initial access brokers sell stolen network footholds. By learning if their network access is being sold before an attacker completes a purchase, companies can proactively rotate credentials, patch vulnerabilities, and notify law enforcement, thereby preventing attacks before they happen.
