Case Study: a North American e-commerce giant simplifies GitHub monitoring with Flare

North American E-Commerce Giant Radically Simplifies GitHub Monitoring

A major North American e-commerce giant faced significant challenges in securing its code, as its Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) team could not manually track the vast number of public GitHub repositories and assets for potential data leaks. These leaks, including exposed API keys and credentials, posed a serious security threat. The company turned to Flare to find a solution for monitoring its GitHub presence.

By implementing Flare, the vendor’s platform automatically mapped the complex relationships between repositories, users, domains, and emails, simplifying the detection of sensitive information. This solution enabled the CTI team to automatically monitor the public GitHub feed and create explorable data endpoints. The results were highly successful, with Flare helping the team catch numerous API key and code leaks, thereby preventing potential security breaches and securing their GitHub environment.
