About the Session

The dark web is often misunderstood. This session gives a clear, guided look at how it works, what is traded, and why it matters for your organisation. You will see how marketplaces, forums and brokers sell access, data and tools, and how stolen credentials and insider information are monetised. We will explore safe, legal and ethical considerations, the signals that indicate exposure, and practical ways to monitor, prevent and respond.

What you’ll learn

In this immersive experience, you’ll:

– Understand how the dark web differs from the surface web and deep web, including common access methods

– See how marketplaces, forums and brokers operate and what is typically bought and sold

– Recognise indicators of exposure such as leaked credentials, insider access and data listings

– Explore safe and lawful ways organisations monitor, verify and act on findings

Why it matters

Dark web activity fuels fraud, ransomware and account takeover. Knowing how these ecosystems work helps teams prioritise controls, detect early warning signs, and reduce risk before it leads to major incidents.

Who’s it for

People across technology, security, fraud, operations, legal and communications who need a practical understanding of dark web risk. No technical background required.

Outcomes

By the end of the immersion, you’ll be able to:

– Explain what the dark web is, how it functions and where risk originates

– Identify the types of exposure most relevant to your organisation and where to look for signals

– Prioritise practical controls such as MFA, credential hygiene, monitoring and takedown processes

Contribute to a simple response checklist covering verification, reset, notification and communications
