Problem
Organizations and individuals lack visibility into compromised email communications that are constantly exposed on the internet, making it difficult to detect phishing, fraud, and data leakage before damage occurs.
Solution
Unknown provides a digital risk protection platform that continuously scans public sources for compromised email messages and other exposed communication data. The service alerts users in real time when their email addresses appear in breached or leaked datasets, delivering details about the source, timing, and context of each exposure. By aggregating and normalizing this information, Unknown enables security teams to prioritize remediation, protect sensitive assets, and maintain compliance with data‑protection regulations. The platform also offers APIs for automated integration into existing security workflows and dashboards for benchmarking third‑party risk across an organization’s ecosystem.
Target Audience
Primary customers are security teams at enterprises, risk and compliance officers, and individual users who need to monitor and mitigate exposure of their email communications.
