As the number and severity of cybersecurity attacks rise each year, organizations are compelled to look for measures to protect sensitive data. The abundance of cybersecurity solutions on the market may create confusion and pressure, as choosing the wrong one may lead to security gaps. Many companies turn to data loss prevention (DLP) systems, since they have been on the market for years. But is a DLP system enough to protect your data?

The SafeBreach Labs team is committed to conducting original research to uncover new threats and ensure our Hacker’s Playbook provides the most comprehensive collection of attacks.

Since Nightfall’s inception in 2018, we’ve made it our mission to equip companies with the tools that they need to encourage safe employee innovation.

More than 67% of internet users in the US remain blissfully unaware of online privacy and data protection regulations. At the same time, the global average cost of data breaches and cyber-attacks has increased by 15% since 2020 to $4.45 million. In fact, compromised credentials and personal information are responsible for nearly 20% of nearly 1.4 billion security incidents during this period.

Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) plays a critical role in identifying security risks, prioritizing misconfigurations, and implementing a zero-trust framework. It is an emerging technology, and there are only a few capable solutions that provide good product offerings. Check out the list of some of the best DSPM platforms that can be considered to streamline data protection, governance, and compliance efforts.
