Companies are very exposed today. Classically on the economic and social fronts, they must therefore keep a close eye on the image and reputation they convey through the media and social networks. The means of making a company vulnerable have continued to develop, particularly through cyberspace. Beyond the intrinsic threats to the digital infrastructures of companies that we think of, cyberspace is also a space for communication, exchange, expression and support for more “classic” threats which have somewhere “started their digital transition.” This is the reason why, in its mission of protection, the company must not neglect the risks in preparation in the depths of the web.

A new exploratory field for human intelligence, the deep and the dark web can allow those responsible for the security and safety of companies, alongside actors trained in this, to thwart and prevent many risks. Three illustrations can attest to this.
