Case Study: Acquia achieves zero security token and password leakage with Nightfall

Acquia guards against data exposure with Nightfall

Acquia, a web hosting and managed services provider, faced the challenge of proactively securing its GitHub repositories to prevent client data exposure. The company needed a solution to detect sensitive information like secrets and passwords within its codebase to meet its security and compliance obligations. They turned to Nightfall for its data loss prevention capabilities.

By implementing Nightfall's native GitHub integration, Acquia gained a centralized platform for automated detection and classification of sensitive data. The solution provided the security team with greater visibility and a proactive approach to managing risk. The result was a significant measurable impact, with Robert Former, the CISO, reporting a drop to zero in security token and password leakage. Nightfall enabled the company to combine compliance coverage and threat management, ensuring the protection of both their own data and their clients' data.
