A guide to identifying and securing PII leakage based on studying some of the largest data breaches of the past 15 years. — Today, personally identifiable information (PII) faces a wide variety of threats. In order to secure PII from leakage and exposure, organizations need to understand the nature of these threats as well as the tools they have at their disposal to ensure that their data remains secure. In this post we’re…

In this tutorial, we will build a lightweight endpoint DLP scanner that scans files on your device in real-time for sensitive data like PII & secrets using Nightfall’s data loss prevention APIs. — Endpoint data loss prevention (DLP) discovers, classifies, and protects sensitive data — like PII, credit card numbers, and secrets — that proliferates onto endpoint devices, like your computer or EC2 machines. This is a way to help keep data safe, so that you can detect and stop occurrences of data…

In this tutorial, we will create and deploy a server that scans files for sensitive data (like credit card numbers) with Nightfall’s data loss prevention APIs and the Flask framework. — The service ingests a local file, scans it for sensitive data with Nightfall, and displays the results in a simple table UI. We’ll deploy the server on Render (a PaaS Heroku alternative) so that you can serve your application publicly in production instead of running it off your local machine…

Learn how to redact sensitive data like PII and credentials with the Nightfall API, and get a more in-depth look at various redaction techniques & when to use them. — In this tutorial, we’ll demonstrate how easy it is to redact sensitive data and give you a more in-depth look at various redaction techniques, how the Nightfall API works, and touch upon use cases for redaction. Sensitive data like PII and credentials can transmit easily in modern applications. For example…

How to add machine learning-based data loss prevention (DLP) to communications services like Twilio and SendGrid in a few lines of code. — Transactional email and communication APIs like SendGrid, Twilio, SES, and Mailgun are critical components to modern applications. These services allow developers to easily incorporate end-user communication into their applications without the infrastructural overhead.

How to automatically discover and classify sensitive data like PII in your Amazon S3 buckets with Nightfall’s sensitive data scanner to facilitate data loss prevention (DLP). — In this tutorial, we will walk through the end-to-end process of scanning your Amazon S3 buckets for sensitive data with Nightfall’s S3 Sensitive Data Scanner. By the end of this tutorial, you will have an exported spreadsheet report (CSV) of the sensitive data in your S3 buckets. …
