Nightfall DLP Platform
AI-native DLP platform that stops data leaks across AI apps, SaaS, email, browsers, and endpoints.
Nightfall DLP Platform Overview
What it does
Nightfall DLP Platform is an AI-native data loss prevention and insider risk platform that discovers, classifies, and blocks sensitive data exfiltration across SaaS applications, generative AI tools, email, browsers, and endpoints. The platform uses 100+ AI models, LLM file classifiers, and computer vision to classify PII, PHI, PCI, secrets, and credentials with 95% precision, tracing data lineage from source to destination for context-aware enforcement.
How it works
The platform spans five modules. Data Exfiltration Prevention traces data lineage from origin to destination and blocks outbound movement across browser uploads, USB, and personal cloud sync. Data Detection and Response applies real-time redaction, quarantine, and sharing revocation across SaaS and generative AI apps. Data Discovery and Classification scans years of SaaS history to remediate exposed data at rest. Nyx, an autonomous data loss prevention (DLP) analyst, investigates incidents and tunes policies through natural language. MCP and AI Agent Security governs Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and coding agents through an inline gateway that redacts sensitive data in agent traffic.
Credentials and traction
Nightfall DLP Platform holds SOC 2 Type II certification and is commonly used for HIPAA compliance. It is used by enterprises across financial services, healthcare, and technology, including Snyk, Exabeam, Genesys, and Kandji, with customers citing it for streamlining PCI DSS compliance and enabling safe generative AI adoption.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesShips policy templates for regulated data types such as PII, PHI and payment or financial data.
Provides an automated incident response workflow for data loss events.
Discovers and enforces data policies for content stored in or transiting through cloud applications and storage, extending DLP coverage to SaaS environments without endpoint agents.
Applies sensitivity labels to data automatically based on content analysis and context without requiring users to manually classify documents before policy enforcement.
Ships policy templates for nonregulated sensitive data types such as controlled unclassified information, intellectual property and source code.
Detects and controls sensitive data entered into generative AI tools, applying block, redact, or warn actions before data leaves the organization.
Correlates DLP policy violations with user behavioral context, distinguishing routine data movement from anomalous exfiltration patterns associated with insider threat or account compromise.
Applies preventative controls automatically such as blocking, encryption, alerting and user justification when sensitive data is detected.
Integrates with SIEM platforms for incident response.
Extracts text from images, scanned PDFs, and screenshots to classify and detect sensitive data that would bypass text-pattern matching.
Correlates user-centric content inspection across multiple channels to detect data loss.
Monitors and enforces data movement policies on endpoints, blocking or logging USB transfers, clipboard operations, print jobs, and screen captures of content matching classification policies.
Inspects prompts, uploads, and AI-generated responses for sensitive data across modalities, preventing exposure of regulated or proprietary information to third-party AI services.
Assesses and scores the risk of discovered AI services and embedded AI features (data handling, training-use terms, hosting, vendor posture) to drive sanction/block decisions.
Discovers and categorizes the organization's use of third-party AI, whether consumed as a service, installed locally, or embedded inside other applications, building a continuously updated inventory of AI usage including shadow AI.
Enforces AI usage controls through multiple local inspection points - browser, endpoint, and network - coordinated from a cloud-delivered control plane, so coverage does not depend on a single interception path.
Defines organizational AI usage policies and enforces them at the point of use - allowing, blocking, redirecting, or constraining specific AI services, models, and features per user, group, or data context.
Detects anomalous AI usage patterns - unusual volumes, off-policy services, atypical data flows to AI endpoints - and alerts on potential misuse or exfiltration through AI channels.
