SaaS Security for Slack Enterprise

Learn how Obsidian secures Slack Enterprise by monitoring integrations, controlling access, and enforcing compliance across collaboration.

Why Slack Enterprise Needs SaaS Security

Trying to protect SaaS without the right tools or context adds complexity and ignores risk:

  • Manual review does not scale: Security settings and permissions are unique for every vendor, demanding significant time and expertise to manage across SaaS
  • SaaS requires continuous monitoring: Access and privileges persist and evolve beyond intended use without monitoring or lifecycle enforcement, growing the attack surface
  • Disparate security leaves gaps: No centralized visibility or control over third-party app authorizations, OAuth scopes, or integration activity can leave risks unnoticed
  • Attackers are focused on SaaS: Compromise of high-privilege tokens or integrations can grant attackers persistent, organization-wide access to sensitive data

How AI is changing security for Slack Enterprise

  • Embedded AI features are secretly training on your data: SaaS vendors are quietly releasing new AI capabilities that change how your data is accessed, processed, and retained
  • Unauthorized experimentation with AI can be serious violations: Users may inadvertently put your organization in breach of contract, out of compliance with regulatory obligations, or in violation of customer MSAs
  • Security and TPRM teams lack insight into every AI interaction: Once an application passes its initial review, those security assumptions often remain unchanged for years despite new AI features being released

How Obsidian Security Defends Slack Enterprise

  • Detect embedded AI usage: Know every time your users interact with a known AI feature with real-time browser monitoring
  • Continuously enforce secure SaaS configurations: Obsidian scores configurations based on criticality according to built-in or custom policies and flags high-priority failures.
  • Right-size privileged access and SaaS integrations: The Obsidian Knowledge Graph unifies identity across SaaS to flag weak MFA, inactive accounts, shadow admins, and overly broad scopes, human or non-human.
  • Detect and respond to SaaS threats in near real-time: Get high-fidelity security alerts the moment your SaaS events are processed.
  • Accelerate incident response: Speed up incident triage by reconstructing identity activity and events, making it simple to diagnose problems.
  • Prevent spear phishing and token compromise: Detect and prevent credential submissions to fake phishing sites to protect your corporate accounts, OAuth tokens, and sessions with browser-level security.
