Nightfall can delete an attachment to a Confluence file or page that contains sensitive information and violates your configured policy. This remediation action is very useful for serious policy violations that risk data exposure and non-compliance.

Each time Nightfall detects a policy violation in any file or page in Confluence instances that it is monitoring, the file or page can be deleted automatically if it is configured as an automated action. If you have selected both Notify and Delete as automated actions, Nightfall will notify the File or page owner and also delete the violating attachment.

You can configure Nightfall DLP for Confluence to automate remediation actions. You can configure them within the Nightfall Policy.

Manual Actions

You can perform the following Remediation actions manually from the Violations dashboard:

• Ignore

• Acknowledge

• Notify via Slack

• Notify via Email

• Redact

• Delete

• Send to Jira

Note: Nightfall recommends starting with manual remediation to start with. You can later enable automated actions from the policy to establish secure Confluence workflows. Refer Manual Actions here.

Automated Actions

• Notify File Owner (via both Slack or email)

• Redact findings directly within Confluence

• Delete attachment (if the finding is alerting on a file attachment)

When Nightfall detects a violation in your Confluence instance, and you have configured it to redact the violation, the sensitive information within the ticket masked. All characters in the message, except the first two, are masked. As an example, a ticket like this:

Nightfall cannot redact deleted tickets. User activities are generated every time a message is redacted similar to all other remediation actions.

Note: Files and images scanned in Confluence are not supported for redaction.

Each time Nightfall discovers a policy violation in a file or page, you can configure to send a notification to the owner of the file or page, about the violation. Notifying can be configured as a manual or automated remediation action.
