Job description

About Nightfall: Nightfall is the AI-native, unified data loss prevention and insider risk management platform that protects sensitive data across SaaS apps, GenAI tools, email, endpoint devices, and more.

Nightfall enables organizations to innovate freely without the risks of losing intellectual property or exposing customer data.
