Some of the most damaging breaches in recent years are attributed to account takeovers. Stolen credentials are involved in 88% of web application attacks, and threat actors only need about roughly 48 minutes on average to commit cybercrime. Unfortunately, threat actors can abuse credentials faster than ever before.
We’re proud to announce that to challenge the state of cybercrime, we’re launching Identity Exposure Management (IEM): to support security teams in detecting, validating, and remediating exposed identities before threat actors can weaponize them.
Why Identity Exposure Management Matters
The barrier of entry for cybercrime has been lowered, largely due to the rise of infostealer malware. Each week, threat actors trade close to 50 million breached identities across Telegram and dark web markets: a constant supply of credentials, browser data, and session cookies.
These stolen sessions allow threat actors to bypass MFA and log in directly, which makes exposed accounts one of the most critical risks to organizations.
Nick Ascoli, Director of Product Strategy, explains, “Many of the largest breaches in recent years stem from attackers simply logging in. At any moment, a newly exposed account represents one of the most critical risks to an organization. Detecting and remediating these exposures before attackers exploit them is mission-critical.”
Prevent Critical Incidents with IEM’s Full Automation
IEM continues the success of our integration with Entra ID and manual credential validation capabilities (already trusted by hundreds of leading enterprises). With this manual workflow, security teams have tested thousands of leaked credentials across the dark web and stealer logs, with a ~2% true positive rate. This has averted critical incidents worth millions in avoided breach costs.
IEM slashes dwell time from days or weeks to minutes, with fully automated validation and remediation within a customer’s Entra ID environment.
Serge-Olivier Paquete, Chief Product Officer, says, “With IEM, we’re giving security teams the ability to act—not just alert. Our customers already use Flare to validate thousands of leaked credentials. Now, they can eliminate the threat entirely—before attackers ever have a chance to log in.”
Unlock Powerful Visibility and Context with IEM Features
IEM offers customers powerful new visibility and context with the features “Identity Profiles” and “Blast Radius.” These allow security practitioners to enrich discovered threat exposures with context, so they have a fuller understanding of them, and thus can strengthen their posture after remediation.
Security Architect at a Fortune 500 electronics company and early design partner for the IEM product shares, “The modern perimeter is the identity. The rapid adoption of this integration shores up our defenses. Flare’s automation-first approach is transforming the way we respond to exposure.”
We’re proud that IEM combines our industry-leaving coverage of exposed credentials and session cookies with simple, actionable, and automated remediation workflows. We look forward to enabling you and your team to proactively:
- manage identity exposures
- shrink response times
- drastically reduce the chances of a business-disrupting breach
