Emerging Source
Flare's Emerging Source data are data coming from new sources that are currently not supported within the Flare application. We have built an Emerging Source System that allows us to swiftly integrate certain datasets and sources previously not covered by the Flare platform, addressing visibility gaps, enhancing data coverage.
Unlike events coming from our other Collection data:
Emerging source events are raw
- Basic metadata
- Raw content view only
- No severity scoring
- No AI assist
Emerging source data may not be archived in the long term
- Flare reserves the right to remove and add emerging sources at any time
If you are find value in one of our emerging sources and would like the data to be enriched or improved. Please reach out to our support team, your feedback will help us prioritise improving that datasets.
APK App Stores
- Poses security risks because these app stores may host unverified and/or malicious apps
- Gives you visibility into illegitimate versions of your mobile apps being disseminated on APK stores
- Helpful for notable brand names and/or customers who have a portfolio of mobile applications on Google Play
Botnet
- Threat actor groups often have access to networks of compromised devices or “botnets”that can be used in attacks
- Flare’s research team has Intelligence about these botnets like IP addresses and target/victim company names
- Gives you visibility to see if you have been targeted by a botnet and/or if you have any assets that are unknowingly part of a botnet
New sources will be added to Flare on a case by case basis as we discover them. If you are aware of a new source that you would like to see in Flare reach our to our support team and we will review its feasibilty.
