Far beyond the surface web lies the darknet—a hidden world where privacy and anonymity define the landscape. Originally built to defend free speech and secure communication, today it’s also a thriving hub for cybercrime, ransomware, and illicit trade.

Join us for a webinar that explores what the darknet is, how it operates, who’s behind its growing criminal economy, and how you can stay ahead of the threats emerging from this shadowy space.

In this session, we cover:

  • What is the Darknet?
  • How Tor and hidden services enable anonymous access and dark markets
  • The surprising legitimate uses of darknet
  •  How dark markets enable modern ransomware campaigns
  • What’s new in 2025: trends, takedowns, and tactics to watch
  • Personal OPSEC Tips & Tricks with practical insights on how to protect yourself when navigating or investigating darknet environments
