Slack Security
Protect Your Users
Because Slack is invite-only, users assume that their workspace is secure. Yet Slack lacks malware scanning, data filtering, and compliance tools that are basic to enterprise security.
In addition to Slack's native Multi-Factor Authentication, more advanced protection is needed. The Avanan Slackbot controls access to data, quarantines malicious content, and informs users of security events.
Simultaneously, a detailed dashboard updates administrators on general usage in Slack. The Avanan Slackbot logs the total number of users, files, shares, links, logins, channels, and threat detections.
Malicious File Detection
Every file is sandboxed before downloading. When zero-day malware or ransomware is discovered, Avanan quarantines the file, performs threat extraction, and alerts the user, who has the option to request file restoration.

The intelligence and usability of the Avanan platform impress customers in all verticals, who awarded Avanan the distinction of Gartner Peer Insights Customer's Choice for Email Security.
Data Leak Protection
DLP security tools detect leaks of PCI, HIPAA, FERPA, PII, and other sensitive information. When necessary, Avanan adds a -classified suffix to the end of confidential messages or files. Flexible workflows determine if the content is quarantined, the user is alerted, and/or the file is encrypted with IRM.
Account Takeover & Insider Threat
The anomaly engine provides Account Take Over Protection by monitoring all Slack logins and events for suspicious activity. Avanan alerts the Slack administrator, the affected accounts, and disables the compromised account to prevent the spread of sensitive data, malicious files, and phishing URLs.
