Case Study: EDHEC protects 10,000 students from cyber threats with Flare

EDHEC protects 10,000 students in minutes with Flare

EDHEC Business School, with 10,000 students and a large digital footprint, faced the significant challenge of protecting its sensitive data from external cyber threats. The open academic environment, where students use personal devices with varying levels of security, made credential compromise inevitable. The school's small security team lacked visibility into its external attack surface and needed a proactive way to detect data leaks. To address this, they implemented Flare's Threat Exposure Management solution.

The solution from Flare provided immediate visibility into compromised credentials and threats on the dark web and Telegram. The platform was quickly deployed and integrated into existing workflows, sending alerts via Microsoft Teams. This enabled the team to find and neutralize stolen student credentials before they could be exploited, often within minutes of discovery. With Flare, EDHEC moved to a proactive security posture, successfully preventing potential phishing campaigns and protecting the institution without needing to control student devices.
