The calm before the breach: Has your data already been leaked?

The calm before the breach: Has your data already been leaked?

The number of data breaches is steadily rising, making effective digital identity protection a key element of any modern security strategy. The Identity Protection feature available within Whalebone Immunity addresses the real challenges that companies face today – regardless of their industry or size.

🔓 Why does identity protection matter?

Employee credentials – such as logins, passwords, or access codes – often end up on black markets and hacker forums. These are frequently the starting point for account takeover attacks, ransomware incidents, or social engineering attempts.

What’s more, even organizations that enforce regular password change policies aren’t fully protected – users often modify only a few characters, still leaving room for a successful attack.

🔍 What does Whalebone Identity Protection offer?

This feature gives organizations real-time visibility into data that may have been exposed due to security breaches. As a result, administrators can act before cybercriminals have the chance to exploit the leak.

Key features:

  • 24/7 monitoring of data sources on the dark web and hacker forums

  • Alerts about both new and historical data breaches linked to the company’s domains

  • A clear and user-friendly admin panel with detailed threat insights

  • No installation required – simply add a TXT record to your domain

  • Ability to react immediately: change passwords, notify employees, secure accounts

📈 The numbers speak for themselves

According to Whalebone’s research, as many as 75% of organizations using Identity Protection discover data leaks related to their domains – often without prior knowledge.

What’s more, even the most trusted and well-known platforms, such as LinkedIn, Adobe, or Canva, have fallen victim to breaches – proving that no one is immune.

🧠 More than just monitoring – smart identity management

The Identity Protection feature doesn’t just alert you to threats – it also:

  • supports employee training in spotting phishing attempts,

  • helps assess risk levels tied to specific users,

  • strengthens the overall security culture within your organization.

What’s more, Whalebone Identity Protection aligns perfectly with the principles of Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), enabling organizations to assess identity vulnerabilities, prioritize responses, and use historical data for long-term planning.

Ready for a PoC?

Identity Protection is included by default in the Whalebone Immunity trial – with no extra costs, setup, or integration required. It’s a great opportunity to see how much value you can gain from access to breach data from the past 10 years.
