This commitment to responsiveness is why we were honored to recently be named a Customer Favorite in The Forrester Wave™: External Threat Intelligence Service Providers, Q3 2026 report, where Forrester specifically noted that “customers laud Flashpoint’s white-glove approach to addressing diverse customer needs.”
But what does top-level service look like behind the scenes?
Here is a look at how Flashpoint CS operates as an extension of our customers’ security operations.
Flashpoint Industry Leaders, An Extension of Your Team
Unlike traditional CS models that limit you to a single point of contact, customers are supported by Flashpoint’s entire team of Customer Success Managers (CSM) experts. Our team is comprised of former intelligence operators and seasoned practitioners whose collective experience spans decades across critical industries and sectors, including:
- Healthcare
- Financial Services & Banking
- Vulnerability Management
- Public Sector
- Defense Sector
- Retail & Enterprise Security
Flashpoint customers are paired with a dedicated CSM who can seamlessly draw on our broader team of industry specialists. Flashpoint customers gain speedy, highly knowledgeable insights without bottlenecks. This model provides organizations with timely responses for any urgent specific sector threats, with our CS teams bringing in practitioners who have direct, real-world experience in that field.

We’ve seen a significant increase in ransomware-related data exposure cases, and Flashpoint’s responsiveness and quick turnaround times have been invaluable in helping us address these matters. We appreciate the partnership and support the CS team has provided.”
More Than Just Support
In addition to traditional support, Flashpoint’s CS team also support clients with:
- Tailored Onboarding & Workflows: CS works closely with new teams to configure platform workflows, set up alert parameters, and ensure rapid time-to-value from day one.
- Interactive Training Modules & Flash Talks: Customers gain access to regular, practitioner-led sessions and training modules designed to help analysts level up on advanced platform features and emergent threat trends.
- Proactive Enablement: Beyond issue resolution, CS provides complimentary training modules, success briefings, routinely-scheduled Flash Talks, and self-service support portal resources to keep security operators informed of evolving threat trends.
- Community-Driven Events & FUSE: CS bridges the gap between intelligence and execution by connecting customers at our annual FUSE conference, where hundreds of security leaders collaborate on real-world workflows, cross-functional defenses, and advanced platform execution.
“Thanks to the team for all of the support throughout the evaluation and onboarding process. Everyone was responsive, engaged, and worked closely with us to ensure we had the information and guidance needed to make informed decisions and get the platform operational quickly.”

Proven Track Record: Voice of the Customer
Flashpoint is a customer-first intelligence provider; we turn customer feedback into action. Our CS teams serve as the direct voice of the customer, taking feature requests and quality-of-life updates to Flashpoint Ignite product managers and engineers to help shape product roadmaps.
Real-world examples of how customer feedback directly drives platform enhancements include:
- Expanding Card BIN Support for Financial Fraud Teams: When a top-10 U.S. bank raised concerns about card data visualization, CS brought the Fraud Product Manager directly into the conversation. This led to dashboard and API fixes alongside brand-new features delivered within a month.
- Increasing Export Limits for High-Volume Investigations: Facing a critical project deadline, a risk-intelligence consultancy hit the export limit during a large-scale social media search. CS escalated the issue to product engineering, resulting in a permanent increase to the results per export for all Flashpoint customers.
- Resolving Integration Blockers for Global Insurers: When critical vulnerability and intelligence alerts weren’t reaching a global insurer’s SOC tools, CS collaborated directly with Flashpoint’s integrations engineering team to update, release, and verify the integration end-to-end.
- Unlocking Capacity for Enterprise Scaling: When a major Canadian bank approached their contractual API usage limit, their CSM partnered with Flashpoint leadership to secure expanded capacity, ensuring uninterrupted threat monitoring.
