Case Study: a large North American bank streamlines sensitive leak monitoring and cuts incident response costs with Flare

Large North American Bank Streamlines Sensitive Data Leaks Monitoring Significantly Cutting Incident Response Costs

The customer, a large North American bank, faced the challenge of efficiently monitoring for sensitive data leaks online, particularly on platforms like GitHub. Manually sifting through thousands of complex search results was overwhelming for their small Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) team and often led to costly, full-scale incident response operations. They tested multiple monitoring solutions but found most generated too much noise until they implemented Flare.

Flare's solution combined advanced data collection with a noise reduction and prioritization engine, featuring a 5-point scoring system to classify leaks. This enabled the bank's team to operationalize their response, eliminating the need for war rooms and reducing incident containment to under 30 minutes in one case. The measurable impact was a significant reduction in incident response costs and more efficient, proactive protection.
