Powering Wider Global DLP Coverage with Three New Detectors from Nightfall

Mar 31, 2026 By Chris Martinez In Nightfall
‍A DLP solution is only as strong as what it can detect. Gaps in detector coverage aren't just a technical inconvenience; they're exposure windows. Every format that goes unrecognized is a policy that can't fire, a remediation that can't happen, and a breach waiting to occur. Three new detectors are now available in Nightfall: personal photos (selfies and headshots), Malaysian Driver's License numbers, and South African National ID numbers.

What is data loss prevention (DLP)?

Mar 27, 2026 By Acronis In Acronis
Quick definition: Data loss prevention (DLP), also known as data leakage prevention or data loss protection, is a set of technologies and policies that stop sensitive corporate data from leaving the organisation due to user negligence, data mishandling, or malicious intent. DLP solutions enforce data handling rules by allowing or blocking data access and transfer operations based on predefined security policies.

Why DLP alone can't protect Manufacturing IP (and what can)

Mar 26, 2026 By Secude In SECUDE
DLP and Secude solutions work together to protect your IP data from creation to deletion - no matter where it travels. Here’s how. Engineering simulations. Machinery instructions. Prototype designs. CAD software is essential across the modern manufacturing production chain and contains manufacturers’ most confidential intellectual property (IP). Yet, much of the manufacturing industry still relies on Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools to protect its CAD data.

Beyond Firewalls: Why User Behavior Data Is Becoming Essential to Modern Security

Beyond Firewalls: Why User Behavior Data Is Becoming Essential to Modern Security

Mar 24, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
For decades, cybersecurity has been defined by barriers. Firewalls, antivirus software, encryption protocols, each designed to keep threats out and systems protected. These tools remain essential, but the nature of digital risk has changed. Today, many security incidents don't begin with external breaches alone. They emerge from within normal activity, subtle shifts in user behavior, unusual access patterns, or unexpected interactions that go unnoticed until it's too late.

Common Mobile Data Security Mistakes Businesses Make

Common Mobile Data Security Mistakes Businesses Make

Mar 23, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Businesses rely on mobile devices more than ever, yet many teams still underestimate how easily mobile data can slip into the wrong hands. A single unsecured mobile device can expose personal information, business emails, and even sensitive account numbers. Employees move between offices, homes, and public spaces throughout the day, which increases cybersecurity risks without anyone noticing. Strong habits and clear systems reduce exposure, but many organizations repeat the same mistakes that weaken data security and create preventable vulnerabilities.

Microsoft Purview Brings AI Readiness, Data Security, and Continuous Compliance

Mar 19, 2026 By Dan Petrillo In BlueVoyant
Microsoft Purview is a powerful platform, but power without expertise can lead to underutilization, misconfiguration, and missed opportunities. Across industries, organizations are grappling with a common set of challenges: The stakes are high. A single compliance incident can cost organizations between $100,000 and $5 million in fines and penalties. And that figure doesn't account for the reputational damage, operational disruption, and remediation costs that follow.

Best sensitive data discovery tools for hybrid environments in 2026

Mar 19, 2026 By Netwrix Team In Netwrix
Sensitive data discovery tools vary widely in hybrid coverage, identity context, and time-to-value. Most platforms handle cloud or on-premises infrastructure well, but rarely both. The strongest options connect discovery to identity and permissions, turning a file inventory into actionable risk intelligence. For Microsoft-heavy hybrid teams, that integration determines whether discovery produces reports or drives remediation.

FERPA Compliance in Higher Education: Controlling Access to Student Data

Mar 17, 2026 By Irena Mroz In archTIS
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) has governed how universities handle student records since 1974. Fundamentally, FERPA is a federal privacy law that grants students the ability to exert some meaningful authority over their academic information. At the same time, it also assigns responsibility for the maintenance and safeguarding of student education records to the universities that maintain them.

WhatsApp Is the Latest Example Of Why Every New AI Feature Outpaces Legacy DLP

Mar 16, 2026 By Chris Martinez In Nightfall
Every new AI feature that ships into a platform your employees already use is a security question your stack probably can't answer yet. It sounds like hyperbole, but it's the structural reality of how AI adoption works in 2026. A recent update to WhatsApp is a useful illustration of why.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP): What It Is, Types, and Solutions

Mar 6, 2026 By KnowBe4 Team In KnowBe4
Most data breaches don’t happen because systems fail. They happen because people make routine errors. Attackers know this, which is why social engineering has become the dominant attack vector, exploiting everyday actions like emailing files or responding to messages. Today, 70–90% of successful cyber attacks involve social engineering, resulting in data exposure that technical safeguards can’t intercept.

100 SaaS Apps. One Query. Zero Alerts: How Glean and Claude Cowork Expose the Agentic AI Data Risk

Mar 5, 2026 By Chris Martinez In Nightfall
A sales rep opened Glean—an AI-powered enterprise search platform that connects to your company's SaaS apps and lets anyone query across all of them in natural language—typed "Who are my top 10 customers?" and got a clean, formatted list pulled from Salesforce, cross-referenced with HubSpot, and confirmed against data sitting in Google Drive. They copy-pasted that list into a personal Gmail draft. No alerts fired. No policies triggered. No one noticed. This isn't a hypothetical.

AI Can Scan Your Code. It Can't Secure Your Organization.

Mar 3, 2026 By Chris Martinez In Nightfall
When Anthropic announced Claude Code Security on February 20th—a tool that scans codebases for vulnerabilities and suggests patches for human review—the reaction from markets was swift and brutal. Major cybersecurity names watched their stock prices fall by double digits within days. The implied thesis behind the selling: AI can now do what these companies do, so why pay for them? It's a compelling fear and an inaccurate conclusion at the same time. The DLP space is a clear example of why.
