A breach rarely begins with a sophisticated exploit or a zero-day attack.
It often starts quietly, somewhere far from your network perimeter. It can be a stolen password sold on a dark-web forum, a corporate domain mentioned in an underground chatroom, or a credential reused one time too many.
Most organizations only notice when the incident has already moved downstream. Cyware’s Exposure Management capability helps change that trajectory by combining visibility, automation, and intelligence in one unified platform.
If you want a closer look at how the module works during real exposure events, the interactive demo offers a guided view.
Seeing Risk as It Develops
Exposure Management brings together two core capabilities: Compromised Credential Monitoring (CCM) and Domain Sightings. Together, they give security teams a continuous view of how their organization appears from an attacker’s perspective.
The platform integrates with Identity and Access Management (IAM) tools and dark web intelligence sources to detect stolen credentials, exposed domains, and leaked data. When an exposure is identified, the system can trigger automated or manual actions through connected technologies such as SIEM, EDR, or incident response platforms.
By the time a potential breach indicator surfaces, teams already have the context, workflow, and control to contain it.
From Data to Decisions
The dashboard delivers a consolidated view of the organization’s exposure surface: breached accounts, impacted users, recurrence trends, and credentials that appear in multiple incidents. Executives and analysts can immediately see what is exposed, where risk is concentrated, and how remediation is progressing.
Each data point opens into a deeper layer of insight, from breach timelines and analyst actions to audit logs for compliance and oversight. Information moves from detection to decision–with clarity and traceability.
Tracing the Story Behind Every Credential
Inside the Compromised Credentials view, analysts can trace the full history of an exposure. A single account might show 63 separate breach events over time, each tagged with when it happened, how it was detected, and what actions were taken.
This level of detail turns what used to be a static alert into a living record of the organization’s exposure lifecycle. Analysts can initiate new actions directly, including triaging the incident, notifying the user, or invoking custom playbooks defined by administrators.
Instead of fragmented tasks across multiple tools, every action is captured and auditable within one environment.
Keeping a Watch on Domain Sightings
The Domain Sightings capability allows organizations to monitor activity related to their registered domains. Once configured, any new sightings or breach discussions tied to those domains appear in a centralized list with key metadata and timestamps.
Each sighting includes the source link, timestamps, and a secure screenshot, allowing analysts to review discussions safely without entering TOR environments. When a domain reference is detected, analysts can alert the relevant teams or trigger automated response playbooks to investigate and mitigate.
From Awareness to Control
Exposure Management unifies credential monitoring and dark web domain tracking into a single operational framework. It gives organizations a reliable way to identify exposures, understand their significance, and respond in time.
Modern cyber resilience depends on this kind of readiness - the ability to act before risk turns into compromise.
