Beacon and Shadow are two separate products within the Dark Radar ecosystem, each designed for different use cases.
Beacon is a monitoring and alerting panel built for brands and organizations. It operates on a single-brand basis. When leaks, exposed credentials, domains, or brand-related risks are detected, Beacon generates alerts. Through the Beacon panel, alerts can be reviewed and classified, email notifications can be received, and integrations with identity providers such as Microsoft Active Directory, Okta, and Auth0 can be configured. Beacon is designed to help brands monitor their own security posture.
Shadow, on the other hand, is a centralized analysis and investigation platform developed for SOC teams, MSSPs, and cybersecurity professionals. It allows multiple brands to be managed from a single panel. Shadow enables advanced querying across infostealer-based leaks using parameters such as country, IP address, HWID, email, username, time range, and technology stack. It also provides access to source leak files, historical compromise records, and vulnerability-related file analysis.
