Nightfall AI Earns Data Breakthrough Award for Data Security Solution of the Year

AI-native platform recognized for its innovative approach to protecting data in modern enterprises


SAN FRANCISCO, April 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nightfall AI today announced its AI-powered data leak prevention (DLP) platform was selected as the “Data Security Solution of the Year” in the 2024 Data Breakthrough Awards. Now in its fifth year, the program evaluates and recognizes data technology innovators, leaders and visionaries from around the world who are breaking through the market to transform the data technology ecosystem.

A standout among more than 2,500 submissions from around the globe, Nightfall is the first DLP solution to leverage generative AI (GenAI) to prevent data leaks without disrupting workflows in the fast-moving modern enterprise. Its advanced detection and remediation capabilities empower enterprise security teams to scale protection for data both at rest and in use across SaaS, GenAI, email and endpoints.

Nightfall has disrupted legacy DLP, which relies on regular expressions and rule-based approaches that overwhelm security teams with false positive alerts. The company’s AI-native approach provides double the precision and four times fewer false positives, saving security teams countless hours of triage and investigation time while delivering impactful improvements to overall security posture.

“Traditional DLP solutions simply cannot protect dynamic, modern enterprise environments, which grow more complex every day,” said Isaac Madan, cofounder and CEO of Nightfall. “With Nightfall’s unified platform, companies can navigate the digital world with confidence, knowing their security teams have the most advanced, scalable solutions to protect sensitive data.”

Nightfall recently announced new capabilities that expand the company’s DLP platform to address many critical enterprise challenges, including SaaS security posture management, data encryption, data exfiltration prevention and sensitive data protection. These new solutions empower enterprises to secure their data across every data plane in real time.
