The Deep Web makes up 90% of the Internet.

Wait, what? Isn’t the Deep Web the illegal marketplace teeming with drug dealers, thieves, and hitmen?

No, that’s the “Dark Web.”

What is the Deep Web?

Graphic about the deep web

The deep web is the part of the internet that can’t be searched using regular search engines or accessed through typical methods. Examples of the Deep Web include your Dropbox or iCloud accounts and your email messages and chat applications on platforms such as Facebook. It also can contain highly secure information that is protected with firewalls, including financial, medical records, and satellite communications.

Satellites are Safe in Space…But Not Cyber-Space!

If hackers gain access to ground stations or satellite control systems, there is a risk of potential manipulation or disruption of satellite operations. Additionally, interception of the communication signal may result in the exposure of sensitive information. Although uncommon, physical attacks on satellites or their infrastructure in space can result in a loss of functionality.

The successful hacking of a satellite could have severe consequences for essential services like communication, navigation, weather forecasting, and national security. As a result, space agencies, satellite operators, and other stakeholders are constantly improving their satellite cybersecurity measures to stay ahead of potential threats.

The Deep Web is not illegal or harmful, unlike the Dark Web. It encompasses various networks such as corporate intranets, password-protected websites, subscription-based platforms, confidential databases, and academic research archives. It is worth noting that popular streaming services like Hulu, Netflix, and Disney + also store their content and user information on the Deep Web. In summary, the deep web is much less frightening than it may seem at first glance.

While you probably don’t have a satellite to protect, you should be using encryption on data at rest and multi-factor authentication for accounts like Dropbox, OneDrive, and your email.

At Commonwealth Sentinel, we can help you establish policies and procedures to reduce your organization’s risk. We can also train your team to follow the best practices to keep everyone Cyber Safe.
