GhostSec has reported a successful breach of the FANAP Behnama software, which they describe as the “Iran regime’s very own Privacy-invading software”. This breach has resulted in the exposure of approximately 20GB of compromised software. The group alleges that the Iranian government employs the software for citizen surveillance, representing a significant advancement in the nation’s surveillance capabilities.

As the number and severity of cybersecurity attacks rise each year, organizations are compelled to look for measures to protect sensitive data. The abundance of cybersecurity solutions on the market may create confusion and pressure, as choosing the wrong one may lead to security gaps. Many companies turn to data loss prevention (DLP) systems, since they have been on the market for years. But is a DLP system enough to protect your data?

The SafeBreach Labs team is committed to conducting original research to uncover new threats and ensure our Hacker’s Playbook provides the most comprehensive collection of attacks.

Since Nightfall’s inception in 2018, we’ve made it our mission to equip companies with the tools that they need to encourage safe employee innovation. Today, we’re happy to announce that we’ve expanded Nightfall’s capabilities to protect sensitive data across generative AI (GenAI) tools and the cloud. Our latest product suite, Nightfall for GenAI, consists of three products: Nightfall for ChatGPT, Nightfall for SaaS, and Nightfall for LLMs.

Since the widespread launch of GPT-3.5 in November of last year, we’ve seen a meteoric rise in generative AI (GenAI) tools, along with an onslaught of security concerns from both countries and companies around the globe. Tech leaders like Apple have warned employees against using ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, while other major players like Samsung have even go so far as to completely ban GenAI tools. Why are companies taking such drastic measures to prevent data leaks to LLMs, you may ask?

San Francisco, CA, August 4, 2023—Nightfall AI, the leader in cloud data leak prevention (DLP), announces the launch of the industry’s first complete data security platform designed specifically for Generative AI (GenAI).

More than 67% of internet users in the US remain blissfully unaware of online privacy and data protection regulations. At the same time, the global average cost of data breaches and cyber-attacks has increased by 15% since 2020 to $4.45 million. In fact, compromised credentials and personal information are responsible for nearly 20% of nearly 1.4 billion security incidents during this period.

Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) plays a critical role in identifying security risks, prioritizing misconfigurations, and implementing a zero-trust framework. It is an emerging technology, and there are only a few capable solutions that provide good product offerings. Check out the list of some of the best DSPM platforms that can be considered to streamline data protection, governance, and compliance efforts.
