About Flare

Flare is a Montreal cybersecurity company. It scans the dark web and other hidden corners of the internet for leaked passwords, stolen credentials and exposed company data. When it finds something, organizations can act quickly, for example by resetting accounts before the information is misused.

Flare mainly serves businesses and security teams rather than individual shoppers. It is worth knowing if you work in IT, run a company or are curious about how data leaks are tracked. For everyone, it is a good reminder to use a password manager and turn on two-factor login. The company is part of Montreal's growing tech and security sector.
