We’re thrilled to announce that Nightfall was selected as the “Data Security Solution of the Year” in the 2024 Data Breakthrough Awards. With enterprises scrambling to stay on the cutting edge of innovation, it’s all too easy to lose sight of data stewardship. In addition to SaaS apps, email, and endpoints, now enterprises must also safeguard their generative AI (GenAI) applications, including both custom and third-party GenAI tools.

In the rapidly evolving AI landscape, the principle of least privilege is a crucial security and compliance consideration. Least privilege dictates that any entity—user or system—should have only the minimum level of access permissions necessary to perform its intended functions. This principle is especially vital when it comes to AI models, as it applies to both the training and inference phases.

As the adoption of AI models, particularly large language models (LLMs), continues to accelerate, enterprises are growing increasingly concerned about implementing proper security measures to protect these systems. Integrating LLMs into internet-connected applications exposes new attack surfaces that malicious actors could potentially exploit.

Back in 2018, Rohan and I founded Nightfall on the belief that AI could make data leak prevention (DLP) better, faster, and more accessible to every enterprise. At the time, Rohan was a founding engineer at Uber Eats, and I was an investor at Venrock specializing in SaaS and security. From these respective vantage points, we could see that legacy solutions weren’t working, and could never keep up with the evolving threat landscape.

In order to prevent worst-case data leak and data loss scenarios, security teams need to have both proactive and reactive measures in place. Let’s explore this further with an example. Imagine your sensitive data as valuables within a house. There are multiple ways to secure that house, including the following. To put this example into practice, security teams would need to: The first and last of these bullet points fall under the umbrella of SaaS Security Posture Management, or SSPM.

As the adoption of generative AI (GenAI) accelerates across enterprises, one of the most promising applications emerges in customer support. GenAI enables automated responses, allowing businesses to engage in natural conversations with customers and provide real-time chat support. However, this convenience comes with inherent risks, particularly concerning data privacy.

The modern enterprise relies on hundreds of SaaS apps, email services, generative AI (GenAI) tools, custom apps, and LLMs, which often contain sensitive data. For too long, security teams have been forced to patch together point solutions for coverage across these channels, increasing their workloads and creating opportunities for sensitive data to slip through the cracks. This is precisely where Nightfall’s single-pane-of-glass solution comes into play: With Nightfall Sensitive Data Protection.

Did you know that 41% of breaches involve email? For threat actors, cloud email systems like Gmail and Microsoft Exchange are treasure troves for valuable internal information like PII, PCI, PHI, secrets, and credentials. In order to limit the blast radius of privilege escalation attacks, and to remain in compliance with standards like HIPAA, it’s essential for enterprises to protect thousands of emails per day.

Bluecore CISO Brent Lassi joins Chris Martinez on CISO Insider to chat about the many things he’s seen and learned and worked on over two decades in the cybersecurity industry. From founding one of the first application security companies in the world, to following the evolution of DLP over the years, to now working in a cloud-native world without a traditional perimeter and how these challenges led him to Nightfall, Brent has many stories to tell.

Nightfall™ uses machine learning to identify business-critical data, like customer PII, across your SaaS, APIs, and data infrastructure, so you can manage & protect it.

Our deep learning-based classifiers are trained on massive volumes of data to yield high accuracy. Unlike traditional methods, Nightfall considers the context surrounding a given token in order to accurately classify it. This means Nightfall performs well on unstructured and ambiguous data, which is increasingly common in enterprises today. Nightfall parses and scans 100+ file types, including images, screenshots, compressed folders, PDFs, etc.

Nightfall does not store or track your sensitive data. Our classifications are fed into the Nightfall platform so you can review & remediate the findings, or leverage them in your own way via our REST API.

Discover, classify, and protect your sensitive data:

  • Discover: Integrate in minutes with cloud services via APIs to monitor data without agents.
  • Classify: Machine learning classifies your sensitive data & PII with high accuracy, so nothing gets missed.
  • Protect: Setup automated workflows for quarantines, deletions, alerts, and more - saving you time and keeping your business safe.

Join some of the world's leading enterprises who trust us to protect their mission-critical data.
