【翻译来自谷歌 未经校对】Nightfall（前身为Watchtower AI）是一家位于旧金山的云数据丢失防护解决方案提供商，今天由Bain Capital Ventures和Venrock牵头，获得2030万美元的融资，由Pear VC和Atlassian首席技术官Sri Viswanath参与。首席执行官艾萨克·马丹（Isaac Madan）表示，最新一轮的收益将支持Nightfall的研发和市场拓展。

“Our mission at Nightfall is to build the control plane for cloud data, enabling enterprises to know what data they have across the cloud, and to proactively manage and protect that information,” said Madan, who was previously with Venrock’s investment division. He cofounded Nightfall with a platform and cybersecurity team hailing from Uber, Atlassian, Deliveroo, Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, and Akamai.

“以前，我们在Nightfall的任务是为云数据构建控制平面，使企业能够了解他们在云中拥有的数据，并主动管理和保护这些信息，”以前曾在Venrock投资部门工作的Madan说。他与来自Uber，Atlassian，Deliveroo，Palo Alto Networks，CrowdStrike和Akamai的平台和网络安全团队共同创立了Nightfall。

Nightfall’s eponymous platform monitors data flowing into and out of the services a customer uses, which machine learning algorithms classify as sensitive, personally identifiable (PII), noncompliant (with regulations like HIPAA and GDPR), or safe to share. Using a visual dashboard, admins can set up automated workflows for quarantines, deletions, alerts, and more that integrate with dozens of software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms and APIs, and view analytics metrics like real-time and historical PII count by type.

Nightfall的同名平台监视流入和流出客户使用的服务的数据，机器学习算法将这些数据分类为敏感，个人可识别（PII），不合规（具有HIPAA和GDPR等规定）或可以安全共享。管理员可以使用可视仪表板来设置隔离，删除，警报等自动化工作流程，并将其与数十种软件即服务（SaaS）平台和API集成在一起，并查看实时和历史PII等分析指标按类型计数。

Nightfall offers over 25 pretuned PII detectors out of the box, which can spot things like ages, credit card numbers, emails, ethnic groups, names, locations, phone numbers, bank routing numbers, passport numbers, IP addresses, cryptocurrency wallet addresses, and social security numbers. On the API side of the equation, Nightfall discovers new and existing endpoints and classifies their responses while tracking for changes. This enables it to suss out sensitive data in Slack chats, for instance, or identify compromising keys in GitHub repositories.

Nightfall提供了超过25种预调优的PII检测器，可以检测年龄，信用卡号，电子邮件，族裔，姓名，位置，电话号码，银行路由号码，护照号码，IP地址，加密货币钱包地址和社会安全号码。在等式的API方面，Nightfall发现新的和现有的端点，并在跟踪变化的同时对它们的响应进行分类。例如，这使它可以在Slack聊天中保留敏感数据，或在GitHub存储库中识别有危害的密钥。

“When you have data scattered across numerous fragmented systems, not to mention people communicating in real time, it’s inevitable that sensitive information will get sprayed,” said Nightfall cofounder and CTO Rohan Sathe, a former Uber engineer who built the backend systems to handle petabytes of consumer data. “Nightfall acts as a continuous shield, providing administrators the option of manually taking action on the data, leveraging automated workflows to prevent data loss, or classifying data historically for compliance.”

Nightfall联合创始人兼首席技术官Rohan Sathe说：“当您的数据分散在众多分散的系统中时，更不用说实时通信的人了，敏感信息将不可避免地被喷出。”消费者数据。 “夜幕降临是一个持续的屏障，管理员可以选择手动对数据采取措施，利用自动化的工作流程来防止数据丢失或对数据进行历史分类以确保合规性。”

Nightfall competes against well-funded startups including Netskope, Very Good Security, and Bitglass in the multibillion-dollar data loss prevention market. But it already counts among its customer base Periscope Data, Ellucian, and Clinc, as well as other Fortune 500 enterprises across segments like health care, insurance, and education.

在数十亿美元的数据丢失防护市场中，Nightfall与资金雄厚的初创公司竞争，包括Netskope，Very Good Security和Bitglass。但它已经将其客户群Periscope Data，Ellucian和Clinc以及医疗保健，保险和教育等细分市场中的其他财富500强企业列入其中。

“Isaac, Rohan, and the Nightfall team are addressing a deep and profound need in the world of information security, where I have spent nearly three decades of my career,” said Bain Capital Ventures partner Enrique Salem, who plans to join Nightfall’s board of directors. Salem has a distinguished history in software and cybersecurity, as the former CEO of Symantec, as well as serving as a board director at DocuSign and Atlassian. “With the proliferation of data across the cloud, high accuracy content inspection that is easy to operationalize is more important than ever. Nightfall has built a powerful and elegant solution to this problem. We are delighted to have been investors since the very beginning and to continue deepening our partnership with the team.”

贝恩资本风险投资公司合伙人恩里克·塞勒姆（Enrique Salem）说：“以撒，罗汉和Nightfall团队正在满足信息安全领域的深刻需求，我在该行业已经度过了近三十年的职业生涯。”董事。塞勒姆（Salem）在软件和网络安全方面拥有杰出的历史，曾担任赛门铁克（Symantec）的首席执行官，并曾在DocuSign和Atlassian担任董事会董事。随着云中数据的扩散，易于操作的高精度内容检查比以往任何时候都更加重要。夜幕降临为该问题建立了强大而优雅的解决方案。我们很高兴自一开始就成为投资者，并继续加深我们与团队的合作伙伴关系。”
