Why the Future of DLP Is Invisible, Invincible, and Inexpensive

Legacy DLP solutions, as well as CASB and app-native DLP solutions, face significant challenges in providing comprehensive coverage across modern SaaS, AI apps, and endpoints. Lack of visibility, clumsy deployments, and expensive implementations are common drawbacks of using these tools — and they leave big gaps in data loss prevention. Even today, we’re still seeing the same problems that have persisted for decades in today’s DLP solutions.

PCI Readiness Survey: Key challenges for 2025

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) has been a critical framework for protecting cardholder data for the last two decades. It’s also presented a major — and gradually rising — compliance challenge for organizations that handle cardholder data. That challenge is set to ramp up significantly in the coming months, as security standards become even more stringent with PCI DSS 4.0 updates taking full effect in March 2025.

Legacy DLP Solutions vs. Fidelis Network DLP: Overcoming Pain Points in Data Protection

In our modern digital world, sensitive data protection is an essential challenge for organizations of any scale. Data breaches can translate into huge financial losses, loss of customer confidence, and heavy legal fines. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) technology plays a crucial role in protecting information, but not all DLP technologies are capable of addressing the evolving threats. Legacy DLP infrastructure, which was the norm, is no longer good enough, exposing organizations to risks.

Data-Centric Security: Protect Your Most Valuable Asset-Your Data

You’re sitting in your office, staring at a screen filled with data. Customer information, financial records, sensitive business intel – it’s all there, flowing through your systems like digital lifeblood. That data, however, isn’t just sitting behind your firewall anymore. It’s zipping across cloud platforms, being crunched by AI models, and shared with partners across the globe. Welcome to the new reality of data security.

APIs: The Silent Highway for Sensitive Data

Think about how your banking app connects to payment processors or how your healthcare provider’s system shares records securely – APIs have become essential for modern digital interactions, enabling applications to communicate and share data effortlessly. However, this convenience comes at a cost: APIs often handle vast amounts of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), making them prime targets for API data exfiltration.

Insider Risk with Nightfall DLP: Episode 1 - Prevent Personal Cloud Store Uploads

Insider risk is a tricky challenge for security teams: how can you tell the good actors from the bad, or intentional actions from mistakes? Anyone with approved access to endpoints and SaaS systems could expose data to exfiltration risk if those systems are focused solely on preventing outsiders from getting in.

Inside a Cyberattack: How Hackers Steal Data

The truth about cybersecurity is that it's almost impossible to keep hackers outside of an organisation, particularly as the cybercrime industry becomes increasingly sophisticated and their technology more advanced. Furthermore, once a hacker has broken through an organisation's defences, it is relatively easy to move within the network and access information without being detected for days and even months. This is a significant concern for Banking and Financial Services organisations, which house valuable sensitive and Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

Data at Risk: 96% of Ransomware Attacks Involve Data Theft

A new report from Arctic Wolf has found that 96% of ransomware attacks now involve data theft as criminals seek to force victims to pay up. “As potential victims implemented more reliable backup and restoration processes, ransomware operators introduced data exfiltration as a means to apply additional pressure and protect their revenue streams,” Arctic Wolf says.

What is PCI DSS?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a global security framework established by major credit card brands that outlines security requirements for any organization handling cardholder data, including encryption, access control, and network security.
