What is password monitoring?

A service that scans for exposed passwords linked to the company's domain. The tool scans the clear, deep, and dark web for exposed email addresses and passwords linked to those email addresses, specifically at the domain level rather than tied to individual employees. This information might have been exposed in various data breaches or breaches from third-party sites where these email addresses have been used.

Since these leaked details are equivalent to leaving the key to the house outside the door and essentially giving it away to thieves, securing one's business can be easily done. It's also surprisingly common to discover company information in large breaches, often because the company's email addresses are frequently used for personal services, and associated passwords are often reused for convenience.
