Centralized threat insights have enabled comprehensive dark web exposure reporting
The best feature that Cybersixgill offers with respect to dark web intelligence is that they provide very good screenshots of where the particular data has been taken, which allows for better visualization and understanding of the scenario, with the source being indicated through onion links that can be reverse-engineered for further investigation. We were really impressed by some of the features of the platform, and we were planning to integrate it into our day-to-day work, but I'm not certain whether that happened because I was serving a notice period at that time.

Increased compliance and visibility boost cloud security posture
Upwind has great runtime detection and response capabilities for our cloud workloads. It provides great context for vulnerability management, allowing us to see what our most important vulnerabilities are. Upwind gives us insight into API security threats and helps us identify misconfigurations in our cloud environments to align with security frameworks like CIS or NIST. With Upwind, we have greatly increased our cloud security posture. Our compliance rates have improved significantly, and they have helped us automate vulnerability management and gain insights into API endpoint security.
