Vienna, October 10, 2018: Want a simple way to check at any time whether personal data are circulating on the internet or involved in a leak? What has so far only been possible for IT specialists and companies can now be done by anybody in a matter of seconds with Intelligence X. While conventional search engines are normally used to look for a wide range of everyday information, Intelligence X helps you find the needle in the digital haystack. Rather than searching for names or images, Intelligence X instead targets email addresses, domains, credit card numbers, IP addresses or phone numbers.
“With Intelligence X, we have created the first search engine that lets you easily determine whether personal data are circulating on the internet or possibly affected by an information leak. Unlike conventional search engines, we dig much deeper with Intelligence X, sifting through even the remotest parts of the internet,” announces IT security analyst and founder of Intelligence X, Peter Kleissner, at the presentation of the search engine in Vienna.
Search the darknet at the click of a mouse
Intelligence X is specifically designed to search parts of the internet that are ignored by conventional search engines. Such areas include the darknet and other normally inaccessible parts of the internet, like peer-to-peer systems. The search results are determined by algorithms and ranked according to an X-score that specifies their relevance. Each individual result is provided together with a detailed view that shows the original document and lists meta information such as the date. Even search terms contained in a document (an email address in a PDF file, for example) are automatically listed.
Cyber security for companies
In addition to the free search engine, Intelligence X offers companies and organizations a premium model for a monthly subscription fee of €99 per user. “For the first time, we offer companies and organizations a tool that makes it possible to check in real time and at any time whether business or user data are being leaked and misused on the internet. This represents a milestone in IT and data security,” says Kleissner.
The premium model provides more detailed search results and some features designed for professional use, such as a notification function and the possibility to integrate Intelligence X into existing business processes.
