Implementing Secure Access and File Sharing in Slack

Slack is without question one of the best collaboration tools in the market to help bring the right people, information, and tools together to get work done. But like all other business enablement tools, security cannot be an afterthought. Consider the amount of sensitive data and files that are exchanged over Slack for both internal users and external collaborators. Sensitive files that contain encryption keys are typically exchanged over Slack for legitimate business purposes, but are often never removed. Leaving files accessible indefinitely increases the risk of a malicious insider to scrape through Slack channels and exfiltrate sensitive data. Depending on organizational settings, sensitive files within Slack can be accessible indefinitely as well as be downloaded by users who should have never had access to them. DoControl’s granular data access controls will help organizations leveraging Slack to enable secure file sharing, manage and monitor critical assets, as well as provide a better balance between security and business enablement. In addition, DoControl adds value to your existing Slack investment through automated notifications and alerts, which can be distributed to specific individuals or Slack channels during high risk security events.
