Symbol Cyber Threat Surveillance
Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, United States
What it is
Symbol Cyber Threat Surveillance monitors internet sources for organizational information that may be exposed and records findings for compliance evidence. Customers can configure monitoring for domains, credentials, executive names, and custom keywords. Coverage includes dark web forums, illicit marketplaces, paste sites, and encrypted chat channels. The product page describes continuous scanning, while its knowledge base says configured keywords are checked every 24 hours. Symbol says it filters collected material into high-confidence alerts and maintains a changing risk score to track external exposure. VIP monitoring covers C-suite targeting, doxxing attempts, and personal information exposure. Findings can be logged as NIST CSF and ISO 27001 evidence. Administrators can update statuses, add notes, ignore and filter findings, and manage notifications; results and keywords can also be managed through the Symbol API. Result content is automatically removed after 30 days, and keyword allowances vary by plan. Pricing is available by request. Customers interested in enabling the service are directed to contact Symbol Support.
