External Risks

Find your data before attackers do.

Monitor every layer of the web for exposed credentials, source code and sensitive data — protecting your intellectual property beyond the perimeter.

The challenge

Data exposure is everywhere

Data exposure is no longer an anomaly — it's a side effect of speed, scale and interconnected systems. Sensitive assets like credentials, source code, strategic documents and customer data continuously move across environments you don't control: external repositories, outsourced infrastructure, communication platforms and underground ecosystems. Traditional security tools operate inside your perimeter — they lack visibility over where your information leaks, how it spreads and which external vectors amplify its impact.

Your tools stop at the perimeter

Traditional security operates inside your walls. The leak happens outside them — and nothing you own is looking there.

Secrets travel with the work

Credentials, tokens and source code move into external repositories, outsourced infrastructure and chat platforms as a side effect of shipping fast.

You learn about it last

By the time an exposed credential surfaces, it has already spread — and the window in which it was cheap to fix has closed.

Leaks don't stay recognizable

Code and documents get modified, repackaged and obfuscated, so searching for an exact copy finds nothing.

How it works

Find it before an attacker does

Continuous monitoring of the places your data ends up — the ones you don't control.

  1. 01

    Watch the outside

    Continuous monitoring across public repositories, paste sites, social media and forums — the environments where exposure actually surfaces.

  2. 02

    Recognize what's yours

    Pattern recognition and machine learning give high coverage with minimal false positives, and detect leaks even when they've been modified or obfuscated.

  3. 03

    Alert by severity

    Exposed keys, tokens, passwords and credentials raise immediate, severity-classified alerts — so the urgent ones read as urgent.

  4. 04

    Get it removed

    Centralized takedown workflows track partner actions, removal status and escalation, supporting your legal and compliance obligations.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does the Data Exposure Monitor do?

It monitors every layer of the web — public repositories, paste sites, social media, forums and more — for exposed credentials, source code and sensitive data, with detection, alerting and takedown.

What kinds of data does it detect?

API keys and tokens, credentials and passwords, personal information (PII), intellectual property, source code and corporate secrets.

How quickly are we alerted?

Detected exposures trigger immediate, severity-classified alerting to minimize the exposure window and prevent unauthorized access.

Can it help remove leaked data?

Yes. Centralized takedown management provides visibility into partner actions, removal status and escalation workflows, supporting legal compliance.
