earchlight Cyber , a Dark Web
S intelligence company , has launched Stealth Browser , a secure and user-friendly virtual machine for cyber professionals to access the Dark Web and conduct investigations anonymously , without risk to themselves or their organisation .
Stealth Browser is an enhancement to Searchlight ’ s Cerberus investigation platform , which is used by law enforcement agencies , enterprises and MSSPs to uncover criminal activity on the Dark Web and has been used in some of the biggest criminal cases involving Dark Web activity .
The Dark Web is a critical source of intelligence for cybersecurity professionals but accessing it carries risks for the investigator and their organisation ’ s infrastructure . On their own systems , they run the risk of accidentally installing malware , exposing their digital fingerprint / proprietary IP address , or inadvertently leaking sensitive information .
Stealth Browser eliminates these risks by automatically masking the investigator ’ s digital fingerprint , allowing both novice and experienced investigators to quickly and securely access Tor and I2P onions on the Dark Web without risk to themselves or their organisation ’ s infrastructure .
With one click , Stealth Browser allows the investigator to generate a virtual machine directly from any Internet browser without the need to install any software . This is in stark contrast to the complex setup usually required to safely access the Dark Web and allows analysts to get the relevant information they need more easily , without the need for lengthy administrative and approval processes .
