Risk Signals Detected

Risk signals are the core output of the DRP monitoring process. These signals are the tangible results of observing informal, high-velocity digital spaces where early indicators of security threats frequently emerge. They represent findings that may require attention, investigation, or immediate action depending on their severity and context.

Understanding Risk Signals

A risk signal can take many forms: leaked credentials being shared or sold, confidential documents exposed in chat groups, mentions of executive names or internal systems in dark web discussions, or even planned attacks circulating among threat actors. What defines a signal is not just what is said, but where and how it appears. A file shared in a closed forum known for cybercrime has a very different meaning than a message posted in a public channel.

The system identifies and interprets these signals by analyzing patterns of communication, the relevance of the content to monitored entities, and the nature of the platform where it was found. It distinguishes casual commentary from coordinated threats or sensitive data exposures ensuring that only the most actionable intelligence reaches the security team.

From Raw Content to Actionable Insight

Risk signals are not simply extracted data points, they are enriched findings. Each one is contextualized to explain the type of threat involved (e.g., data leakage, impersonation, credential exposure), its possible impact, and the environment in which it was detected. This gives incident response teams a clear, prioritized view of what matters most, allowing them to act quickly when necessary by consolidating signals from disparate sources and translating them into structured, security-relevant insights.
