Symbol Cyber Threat Surveillance monitors internet sources for organizational data that may be exposed and records findings for compliance evidence. Customers can track domains, credentials, executive names, and custom keywords across dark web forums, illicit marketplaces, paste sites, and encrypted chat channels. Symbol describes continuous scanning, while its knowledge base says configured keywords are checked every 24 hours. The service filters raw data into high-confidence alerts and maintains a changing risk score to track external threat exposure. VIP monitoring covers C-suite targeting, doxxing attempts, and exposure of personal information. Findings can be logged as NIST CSF and ISO 27001 evidence. Administrators can update statuses, add notes, ignore or filter results, and manage notifications; results and keywords can also be managed through the Symbol API. Result content is removed automatically after 30 days, and keyword allowances vary by plan. Symbol says search results may include sensitive, explicit, or non-public information and disclaims responsibility for that content. Pricing is not published; customers are directed to request a demo or quote. Customers interested in enabling the service should contact Symbol Support.
