Nikolay Danev, Founder of BitCrime, based in Sofia, Bulgaria participates in Risk Roundup with Jayshree Pandya to discuss Cyber Underground and Deep Web.
Cyber Underground and Deep Web
What is commonly known as the World Wide Web is categorically just the visible surface of a network of connected computers. Beneath this visible surface of a global network of connected computers is enormous, and a mostly unmapped network of connected computers called the Deep Web.
When we make an effort to identify, evaluate and understand the segment of the connected computers that are not indexed or mapped, and are not searchable by traditional search engines, many questions arise about its very existence. The questions and their answers point us to the biggest concern of the Deep Web, which is perhaps its rapidly growing marketplaces. What happens in those marketplaces that are a cause of concern? It is important to identify, understand and evaluate that.
There is a growing concern that what happens in Deep Web, Deep Web forums, and Deep Web marketplaces has real-world implications for not only individuals but entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) in cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS). Why is that so? Is it because most of the products and services that are commonly offered in the deep underground are not ethical and legal? Maybe!
While for criminals it answers a need of their CGS requirements in the underground world, the many faces of complex CGS crimes that originate in the Deep Web and because of Deep Web are becoming a cause of great concern to each and every one of us across nations.
Since the Deep Web is expected to be involved in a lot of social and economic developments that will be vital in the coming years, from a security perspective, this is a critical risk that needs to be addressed and managed with caution.
Now is the time to understand Cyber Underground and Deep Web!
