Flare Acquires Foretrace to Accelerate Threat Exposure Management Growth
As the online world has grown, so have the digital footprints of connected organizations. Everyone is human (at least everyone we’ve met so far), and they can make mistakes that expose digital assets. Technical errors also occur that could leak information.
Flare takes a unique, combined approach of scientific methodology and AI-driven data collection to solve that problem. We go wherever information may be leaked and help prioritize the biggest exposures of a digital footprint.
In maritime and search and rescue uses, flares are used in nighttime operations to illuminate broad areas on the ground, providing visibility. They can also be launched by parties in distress or lost hikers to help search and rescue teams pinpoint their location and rush assistance. It’s the same with our platform—continually providing visibility and drawing your attention to the most critical exposures of your digital assets so you can monitor or take action.
We value two-way conversations, diversity and listening — to our clients, to the community, and to each other.
We care about giving people a balanced opportunity to grow and thrive.
We do what’s right, with no exceptions — always looking at the big picture and common good.
We don’t just do or build things for their own sake. We look to innovate the right way.
We take big risks, but we also know our own strengths and limitations, because that takes courage also.
