What Getting Sick on Vacation Taught Me About Cyber Recovery

Last July, I traveled with my wife and two-year-old daughter to my parent’s house on the coast for a week of summertime fun-in-the-sun. It’s a trip we try to make at least once a year to escape the day-to-day grind, see family, and lounge beside various bodies of water, all while enjoying complimentary, around-the-clock childcare (aka grandparents). At least that was the plan. Instead, I awoke on the very first morning of our trip feeling just about as sick as I’ve ever felt.

API-Based Zero Trust Assessment: Measuring Your Security Posture in Minutes

Staying PCI DSS Compliant: The Annual Checklist

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance isn’t a once-a-year exercise; it’s a year-round effort that requires regular validation to protect cardholder data, manage risk, and maintain audit readiness throughout the year. Compliance failures are rarely caused by a single missing control.

Entity Detection Plus Protection: Nightfall's New Approach to Comprehensive DLP

For years, data loss prevention has meant one thing: finding sensitive entities. Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, API keys—if you could pattern-match it, you could protect it. But this approach has always had fundamental limits. What happens when you need to protect customer IDs unique to your business? What about proprietary source code that doesn't contain any traditional PII?
