Case Study: Black Hills Information Security scales pentesting operations with Flare

Black Hills Information Security cuts threat triage to under 24 hours with Flare

Black Hills Information Security (BHIS), a leading penetration testing and cybersecurity training organization, faced challenges scaling its operations due to a labor-intensive, homegrown tool for collecting dark web intelligence. This internal system required constant manual maintenance and lacked the multi-tenancy and security features needed to provide direct data access to its clients. Seeking a reliable and scalable solution for monitoring stolen credentials, BHIS turned to vendor Flare and its cyber threat intelligence platform.

The solution implemented was Flare's multi-tenant platform with white-label capabilities, which provided superior searchability, automated data collection, and customized alerting. This allowed BHIS to establish an efficient triage pipeline, eliminating their infrastructure maintenance burden. The results included daily validation of disclosed credentials to prevent account takeovers, direct client access for investigation, and enhanced protection for financial services clients against threats like check fraud. Flare empowered BHIS to scale its services and focus on analyzing real attack paths for its customers.
