An insider is any person with authorized access to systems or data that gives them the ability to take potentially harmful actions. Insiders range from business partners or third party contractors to full- and part-time employees–essentially all valid users with access to resources that you'd rather keep out of the wrong hands. People are just people, but when they mishandle data, they fall into the category of being an insider threat–intentional or not.

Our customers often tell us about how they implement manual classification policies. However, with several hundreds of files created daily, and constant sharing between teams, it becomes impossible to enforce secure sharing and sensitive data protection. Imagine that your sales team just accidentally shared a spreadsheet containing customer credit card details with an external vendor. Or perhaps your HR department stored employee health records in a folder that wasn't properly restricted.

Where are your credentials and secrets, and how are you protecting them? These are fair questions, considering the pervasiveness of secrets sprawl. We recently conducted research over 12 months to determine where enterprises’ secrets were residing within their systems, like GitHub, Confluence, Zendesk and Slack. In addition to API keys and passwords, secrets like SSL certificates, usernames and others are spilling into enterprises’ cloud environments and increasing the risk of a breach.

These days, your organization's data is its most valuable asset. But what happens when that data slips through your fingers? Picture this: It's Friday afternoon, and your security team receives an alert about an unusual number of downloads from your cloud storage app, Google Drive. As you investigate, you realize it's corporate IP that's being downloaded en masse by a departing employee. This type of exfiltration incident isn't just hypothetical; it's a reality that organizations face on the daily.

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.
