Nightfall Launches Revolutionary AI File Classifiers to Combat IP Theft in Modern Workplaces

Nightfall Launches Revolutionary AI File Classifiers

In a significant advancement for data protection, Nightfall has launched its new AI File Classifier Detectors, marking a milestone as the first solution employing large language models (LLMs) to classify and safeguard critical business documents that traditional Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools often overlook. This cutting-edge technology is designed to address the growing concern of intellectual property (IP) theft and insider threats that can arise from modern collaboration platforms and Shadow AI tools.

Addressing Blind Spots in Traditional DLP Solutions

Traditional DLP tools primarily focus on structured data, which leaves a blind spot for high-value assets that contain no conventional sensitive data identifiers. Such assets can include source code, financial reports, strategic business plans, patents, and proprietary research. As a result, organizations may unknowingly expose themselves to risks of data breaches that involve the theft of crucial intellectual property without even realizing it.

Nightfall aims to bridge this critical gap by leveraging LLM-powered document intelligence that transcends basic pattern matching. The AI understands not only the content but also the meaning, structure, and context of the documents. This enables accurate detection of unstructured IP, akin to how humans discern important documents such as contracts or proprietary research.

Key Features of Nightfall's AI File Classifiers

Nightfall’s solution is equipped with 22 prebuilt classifiers for various common document types, including legal contracts and HR files. Users have the flexibility to create custom detectors using natural language prompts and example files. This innovative approach eliminates the necessity for regex patterns and extensive training data, allowing organizations to define new document types quickly and efficiently.

For instance, a lender can simply upload a sanitized mortgage application or describe it as a
