At Nightfall, we’re guided by our customers who trust us to safeguard their sensitive data for every application and AI tool. That’s why we’ve launched Nightfall for Notion as another step in making it simple and seamless for customers to protect their valuable company and customer information.

Data governance and protection are crucial in safeguarding sensitive information. Proper classification and data labeling is essential to ensure that the right people access the right information. Failure to implement these practices can result in data breaches, financial loss, and harm to an organization’s reputation.

You probably expect executive leadership to not just support cybersecurity efforts, but to be involved. New data shows organizations have a way to go until this is a reality. Even if an organization is completely supportive of the cybersecurity strategy, it can’t exist in a technical bubble only. It requires a lot of input – from planning to implementation – to ensure that required business objectives are met as security controls become part of operations and resiliency plans.

Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 are among the leading cloud services globally, but their limited Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) capabilities pose potential data security and compliance issues for organisations that must comply with the EU and global data sovereignty laws. Increased government concern over protecting sensitive personal, business, government and defence data in the Cloud has led to a complex regulatory landscape that aims to maintain control of citizen and government data.

I was looking at my watch last week and my attention was moved towards the seconds over at the right of the watch face, incrementing nicely along as you’d expect. Now, I don’t know if I’d just spent too long staring at a debugger screen or if it was something in the air, but an idea dawned on me, related to all things command and control, data exfiltration, etc.

Despite diverse protection measures applied by organizations, data breaches involving Personally Identifiable Information (PII) still cause substantial financial losses across various industries. Between March 2022 and March 2023, compromised customer and employee PII cost organizations $183 and $181 per record, respectively, according to the 2023 Cost of a Data Breach Report by IBM Security.

The Defence supply chain is a network of interrelated companies, services, and products that transform raw materials and information into goods and expertise for military materiel applications. Given the scale, breadth, and complexity of bringing so many different stakeholders and activities together, the risks that a supply chain presents can be challenging to define and manage.

Data is expanding beyond environments, applications, and geographical boundaries. It is safe to say that we are currently experiencing the era of the Big Bang of Data. It is driving economies and industries. Organizations that can leverage data to its fullest potential take the helm of their industry, leading it peerlessly. However, with the proliferation of data comes increasingly serious risks to data security and privacy.
