Dark Web Intelligence and Attack Surface Management for External Cyber Risk

Searchlight Cyber is a cybersecurity company focused on external cyber risk, combining dark web intelligence, attack surface management, and investigation tooling into a single offering. The platform is built to give security teams visibility into threats that originate outside the organization, from exposed internet-facing assets to criminal activity unfolding on dark web marketplaces and forums. The aim is to surface high-signal indicators so defenders can prioritize the risks that genuinely matter rather than drowning in noise.

The product suite centers on three pillars. Assetnote performs continuous attack surface management, discovering assets and identifying exposures across an organization's internet footprint. DarkIQ provides ongoing dark web monitoring, alerting teams to leaked credentials, ransomware chatter, and supply-chain risks. Cerberus is an investigation platform drawing on more than a decade of collected dark web data, used to trace criminal infrastructure and actors. Together they connect external exposure with the threat actors most likely to exploit it.

Searchlight Cyber serves enterprise security teams, managed security service providers, and the public sector, including law enforcement and government agencies conducting online investigations. By pairing pre-attack intelligence with attack surface visibility, the company helps customers in sectors such as financial services, energy, and government anticipate threats earlier in the kill chain. The emphasis on actionable, prioritized intelligence is intended to reduce response time and improve the efficiency of stretched security operations.
