Zurich – – October 06, 2026 -- Ontinue has launched ION for Dark Web Monitoring (DWM), a managed add-on to its ION MXDR service that identifies exposed credentials, brand impersonation, and emerging threats before they escalate into security incidents.

Only 19% of organizations continuously monitor and remediate credential exposure

Compromised credentials can surface on the dark web within 24 hours of a breach, yet reports cited by Ontinue show just 19% of organizations continuously monitor for such exposure and automatically remediate it.
