Norton Small Business Expands Protection with Dark Web and Social Media Threat Features
Norton Small Business now helps protect against leaked credentials and account takeovers as breaches impacting businesses surge
Data breaches impacting businesses are surging, up 20% in the last quarter, and overall breach attacks on small businesses are up over 50% in 2025, as reported in the Gen Q2 Threat report. Today's attackers are buying stolen information on the Dark Web and impersonating a vendor or another business, causing serious financial and reputational damage to very small businesses that don't have the necessary protection.
"Today, small businesses are targets like everyone else and they need the right tools to help protect them from very real threats," said
Norton's Enhanced Dark Web Monitoring is always on the lookout for signs of danger, alerting business owners at the first glimpse of trouble. Monitoring now includes eight additional business-specific fields, including Company Name, Tax ID number, and VAT numbers. If any of these details are spotted on the Dark Web—where stolen business information changes hands—Norton quickly notifies small businesses so they can spring into action.
Social Media Monitoring provides protection on platforms where reputations are built and conversations happen globally. In the same way weather alerts warn of an incoming storm, this feature gives small businesses early warnings of account takeover attempts, scam links, and suspicious activity on connected Facebook and Instagram business profiles. Protection from such threats is growing in importance: the Q2 Gen threat report reported a huge surge in financial scams from malicious ads and tech support scams originating on Facebook and Instagram.
Dark Web Monitoring is available in Norton Small Business Standard and Premium plans across the US,
