Protecting One Billion People’s Information Through Flare

January 29, 2026

By Serge-Olivier Paquette, Chief Product Officer

Today, I’m proud to share that Flare now directly protects the information of over one billion end users through our customers. There’s something deeply meaningful about crossing a milestone like this one. 

That number represents real people including your customers, your employees, your partners, and probably many people you know. Every credential we help secure, every compromised identity we surface, and every threat we illuminate translates to a more cybersecure world.

The Engine Behind the Milestone

Protecting a billion people doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the direct result of massive investments in our collection and ingestion infrastructure, as well as a deep relationship with some of the world’s largest web-scale companies, which is the foundation of everything Flare does.

This month, we passed two billion cybercrime-related events and 20 billion leaked credentials. To put that in perspective: we matched a third of our entire collection volume from the past three years in just the last three months alone. That’s the culmination of intentional decisions that will reap even more coverage in the future.

Our coverage by the numbers

This breadth and depth of coverage is what allows us to surface signals that actually matter: actionable intelligence with full context.

What This Means Going Forward

Reaching one billion protected users isn’t an endpoint. It’s validation that our approach works: invest heavily in collection, build intelligence that cuts through noise, and make it effortless for security teams to act on what we find.

The threat landscape isn’t getting simpler. But with the infrastructure we’ve built, we’re positioned to scale protection to the next billion and beyond.

To every customer who trusted us to help protect their users: thank you. We take that responsibility seriously, and we’re just getting started.
