As the online world has grown, so have the digital footprints of connected organizations. Everyone is human (at least everyone we’ve met so far), and they can make mistakes that expose digital assets. Technical errors also occur that could leak information.
Flare takes a unique, combined approach of scientific methodology and AI-driven data collection to solve that problem. We go wherever information may be leaked and help prioritize the biggest exposures of a digital footprint.
