Proactive monitoring has strengthened our credential leak detection and brand protection
CloudSEK XVigil is a strong platform, but it can be improved in several areas. Alerts may sometimes include low-risk mentions, duplicate findings, and non-actionable leaks. Therefore, it can improve through better alert prioritization, smarter risk scoring, and stronger AI-based filtering. The second area for improvement is deeper integration with asset inventory and auto-tagging of critical assets. If we integrate this with our SOC platform, the team needs to understand technical alerts better. They could focus more on business-focused reporting and executive-friendly dashboards. Overall, the platform is strong in external threat visibility, but improving automation, contextual intelligence, and alert precision can make SOC operations even more efficient.

Has required additional context for alerts but supports monitoring impersonation and threat activity effectively
I do not rate Digital Shadows a nine or ten because there are many things that need improvement. The information we get is kind of generic. For instance, for impersonation, we don't have much detail on their history, when it was used or how it was misused. Those further details would be really helpful, but the information we receive is basic, such as when it was last registered and when it was updated, without more insight about the malicious factors. For basic support from Digital Shadows, my impression is that it is six to seven because many times we see duplications or bugs, and the quality of the alerts is not up to the mark. We have escalated many times, but we do not receive solid responses from them in terms of fixes. Digital Shadows should focus on the engineering side rather than the support aspect because support is there to help us get updates, but in terms of quick fixes, it is not as responsive. The need for improvement lies more with the engineering part in fixing issues, which is linked to support.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"In the past three years, we have taken down more than 1000 pages, monitored more than 700 credential leaks, and identified at least around 300 code leaks using CloudSEK XVigil."
"CloudSEK XVigil positively impacted my organization, allowing us to initiate a lot of takedowns for applications with our brand and logo that were wrongly listed on third-party websites, and thankfully, those were removed."
"CloudSEK XVigil is very advanced with automated features and AI capabilities."
"CloudSEK XVigil's threat intelligence is advanced compared to other solutions I have seen or used, and no other tool provides the solutions CloudSEK XVigil does, making it a great product."
"CloudSEK XVigil has positively impacted our organization by being easy to use for our small tier organization."
"CloudSEK XVigil helps organizations detect cyber threats outside their network before the attackers exploit them internally."
"CloudSEK XVigil has positively impacted my organization by automating processes that were previously manual, which we struggled with due to our large network, and since integrating CloudSEK XVigil, it has dramatically changed our workflow and reduced the manpower needed."
"Digital Shadows helps our organization identify and mitigate cyber threats through their crawling of the internet, gathering information, pivoting it, and then sending those alerts to us which we monitor from our SIEM tool."
"The most effective feature for threat intelligence, in my opinion, is collecting impersonating websites."
 

Cons

"The dashboard is good, but I want to make it more mature with additional features so that we can view all the services we use and all critical notifications in a unified platform."
"I give it nine out of ten because sometimes I need to coordinate with the backend team for the takedown process."
"CloudSEK XVigil is a strong platform, but it can be improved in several areas."
"I think CloudSEK XVigil could improve its B-Vigil suite, particularly regarding attack surface monitoring application headers as compared to Bitsight, which provides a good amount of data that could be included in CloudSEK XVigil."
"I feel that some improvements in alerts and notifications can be really useful."
"CloudSEK XVigil can be improved by focusing more on vulnerabilities like open redirection, broken access control, and OWASP Top 10, which need to be enhanced and made more accurate."
"For basic support from Digital Shadows, my impression is that it is six to seven because many times we see duplications or bugs, and the quality of the alerts is not up to the mark."
"The solution doesn't pick up all the brands of the URLs."
"The solution doesn't pick up all the brands of the URLs. I have a relatively small company name, however, the solution still misses a certain number of URLs with my company's name in it that are impersonating websites. It's not very comprehensive, to be honest."
