What Are Unmanaged Data Stores and How to Secure Them

Unmanaged data stores let permissions drift while sensitive data accumulates unnoticed. They are repositories an organization doesn’t actively govern, leaving them without an owner, an access-review cadence, or a retention policy. Securing them means assigning ownership, correcting access, and maintaining continuous governance and visibility.

Falcon Data Security for SaaS - Secure Sensitive Data in Microsoft 365

See CrowdStrike Falcon Data Security for SaaS in action and learn how to discover, classify, and protect sensitive data across Microsoft 365.

Difference between Network DLP vs Endpoint DLP vs Cloud DLP

When it comes to protecting business-sensitive data, understanding the difference and the scope of Network DLP, Endpoint DLP, and Cloud DLP is essential. Each of these Data Loss Prevention solutions (DLP) plays a unique role in securing data across various environments, whether it is on the Network, on individual devices, or in the Cloud. Knowing how each solution works can help you determine the best approach to safeguard your organization's sensitive information.

Meta Muse in the Enterprise: Data Security for Personal Autonomous Agents

The deployment of personal AI agents like Meta's Muse represents a structural shift in enterprise data loss prevention. Unlike conversational web chatbots where data movement is limited to manual user prompts, autonomous personal agents operate in cloud virtual machines, run continuous background tasks, and connect directly to enterprise SaaS platforms through OAuth integrations.

September 2026 Product Updates

September was the month Nightfall's control layer reached inside the model call. Five releases shipped: Claude Inference Hooks, MCP Gateway, expanded endpoint exfiltration controls, personal file classifiers, and PII coverage across 30 countries.

Falcon Data Security for SaaS Secures Sensitive Data in Microsoft 365

For many organizations, Microsoft 365 environments are essential to data security strategy. Their strategic plans live in SharePoint; their employee records and customer data are stored in OneDrive. Teams use these tools to collaborate on projects every day, and increasingly, AI tools like Microsoft Copilot can access the information they rely on.

How to Build a Data Security Program for Generative AI

Ask five security leaders what "data security for generative AI" covers and you'll get five different answers. Some may point to an existing DLP rule for ChatGPT, while others would point to an AI acceptable use policy. Some operate under the assumption that their DSPM vendor already handles genAI security. The confusion isn't about effort, as most teams are actively trying to get ahead of GenAI risk.

AI data security: protecting sensitive information across AI tools

An employee uploads a spreadsheet to find a sales trend. Another pastes a support conversation into a chatbot to draft a reply. Neither intends to expose business information. Even so, both may send sensitive material outside the systems where your business normally controls it. SMB IT decision-makers need to know what employees share and decide which interactions are acceptable, without building a specialist AI security team.

Modern Data Security Should Be Anchored To Your Data's Lineage

New AI tools appear every day. The novelty and utility they bring, along with the constant pressure to be more productive, pull employees toward them to get work done faster. The intent is good but the effect can range from problematic to damaging, because while there are rules in place for sanctioned tools, there are none for the ones that quietly show up in between.
