Flare — Dark Web Monitoring & Threat Exposure Management cybersecurity solution

Dark Web Monitoring & Threat Exposure Management

Flare

Your Automated Cyber Reconnaissance Team

Overview

Flare empowers organisations to proactively detect and remediate exposure across the clear and dark web. It hosts the world's largest repository of dark and clear web data — scanning for leaked credentials, stolen data, stealer logs, infostealer outputs, and suspicious activity before breaches occur. Flare's Identity-First Threat Intelligence approach enables immediate defensive action including Entra ID credential blocking, takedown services, and continuous external attack surface monitoring.

Who It's For

Organisations needing proactive external threat exposure management
Companies handling sensitive intellectual property or customer data
Security teams monitoring for compromised employee credentials
Orgs with developer environments requiring GitHub leak monitoring
MSSPs running threat intelligence as a managed service
500–10,000 employee organisations — mid-market sweet spot

Key Differentiators

  • Largest dark and clear web data repository used by global threat intelligence agencies
  • Rapid deployment — live in under 30 minutes, actionable alerts from day one
  • AI Assist: high-level event summary with technical breakdown and remediation guidance
  • In-depth domain monitoring: screenshots, SSL registration, favicon tracking, lookalike domains
  • Layered GitHub leak detection: commits, users, domains, and repository mapping
  • Entra ID response: automatically block profiles with credentials exposed on the dark web
  • Best-effort takedown services for lookalike domains and exposed GitHub repositories
  • Infostealer and stealer-log detection — finds compromised corporate access before attackers use it
  • Mid-market pricing with flexible commitment model and high discount incentives
  • Covers Telegram channels, dark web forums, paste sites, and combolists in real time

Competitive Positioning

vs. SpyCloud

  • Flare is significantly cheaper — SpyCloud targets large enterprise at premium pricing
  • Flare deploys in <30 minutes — SpyCloud requires lengthy onboarding
  • Flare covers broader external attack surface beyond credential ATO
  • Mid-market sweet spot: Flare is purpose-built for 500–10k employee organisations

vs. Recorded Future

  • Flare is purpose-built for credential and dark web exposure — RF is a broad TIP at 5–10x the cost
  • Flare deploys in 30 minutes vs months of RF integration and tuning
  • Flare provides actionable alerts requiring minimal analyst expertise
  • No six-figure annual contracts — Flare fits mid-market budgets

vs. Hudson Rock

  • Flare has the world's largest dark and clear web data repository — broader infostealer coverage
  • Flare includes integrated response (Entra ID blocking, takedowns) — Hudson Rock is intelligence-only
  • Flare covers GitHub, lookalike domains, and full external attack surface

vs. SOCRadar

  • Flare provides actionable alerts with minimal tuning — SOCRadar requires significant configuration
  • Flare's purpose-built infostealer and stealer-log detection outperforms SOCRadar's broader approach
  • Faster time to value and simpler partner-friendly licensing

vs. ZeroFox

  • Flare has stronger mid-market pricing and partner program
  • Flare's dark web data repository depth is superior for credential exposure use cases
  • Flare deploys faster with less professional services overhead

Partner Use Cases

Upselling Dark Web Monitoring as a Managed Service Add-on

An MSSP partner packages Flare as a monthly managed monitoring add-on alongside their existing endpoint and SIEM stack. Flare's fast deployment (under 30 minutes) and automated alerting allow the partner to onboard clients with zero infrastructure overhead. The partner delivers monthly threat exposure reports — covering discovered credentials, infostealer detections, and domain monitoring results — creating a recurring revenue stream and increasing client retention.

Detecting Compromised Credentials Before a Breach

A partner deploys Flare for a financial services client after a threat intelligence tip. Within 48 hours, Flare identifies 150+ compromised employee credentials across dark web forums and infostealer marketplaces — all active, usable credentials that attackers had not yet exploited. Flare's Entra ID integration automatically blocks the affected profiles while the partner works with the client on a password reset campaign, preventing a breach before it happens.

GitHub Leak Detection for a Software Development Company

A partner uses Flare's layered GitHub detection for a software development client. Flare identifies exposed API keys, hardcoded database credentials, and OAuth tokens in public repository commits. The best-effort takedown service removes the exposed repositories, and the client implements Flare's ongoing monitoring to catch future developer-driven leaks before they reach threat actor hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Flare actually monitor?

Flare monitors the clear web, dark web (including Tor-based forums and marketplaces), Telegram channels, paste sites, combolists, GitHub repositories (commits, users, and domain mappings), and stealer log markets. It scans for leaked credentials, infostealer outputs, stolen data, lookalike phishing domains (with SSL, favicon, and screenshot tracking), and suspicious mentions of your organisation's assets.

Can Flare automatically respond to discovered threats?

Yes. Flare integrates with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) to automatically block user profiles whose credentials appear in dark web or infostealer exposure. It also provides best-effort takedown services for lookalike phishing domains and exposed GitHub repositories containing sensitive code or credentials — enabling defensive action without waiting for manual triage.

How quickly can Flare be deployed?

Flare deploys in under 30 minutes and delivers actionable alerts from day one. There are no agents to install, no network changes required, and no complex onboarding process. Flare operates externally, scanning dark and clear web sources for your organisation's assets as soon as domains and keywords are configured.

What is an infostealer log and why does it matter?

Infostealer malware (RedLine, Raccoon, Vidar, and others) silently captures browser sessions, saved passwords, cookies, and corporate credentials from infected endpoints — without the user knowing. These logs are sold on dark web markets within hours of collection. Flare monitors these markets to alert you when employee credentials appear in stealer logs, often before attackers have time to use them to access corporate systems.

Who is Flare best suited for?

Flare is a strong fit for mid-market organisations (500–10,000 employees), MSSPs offering threat intelligence as a managed service, software development companies needing GitHub leak detection, and any organisation that handles sensitive customer data or intellectual property. Its rapid deployment and actionable alerting make it accessible without a dedicated threat intelligence team.
