Endpoint Protector Adds Support for Slack to Prevent Sensitive Data Leaks

CoSoSys updates Endpoint Protector DLP with Slack support to empower organizations in efficient and secure workstream collaboration

Cluj-Napoca, Romania - April 11th, 2016: CoSoSys, worldwide recognized vendor of Data Loss Prevention and Mobile Device Management solutions, today announced support for Slack, the messaging app for teams, with Endpoint Protector 4 DLP.

Slack is revolutionizing the way teams work by bringing messages from people together with notifications from the tools they may use at work, creating a unified archive of information accessible through powerful search. With its rapid adoption across organizations of all sizes, it is important that organizations make sure to stay compliant and protect their most vital digital assets - from customer details such as credit card records or Social Security numbers, to confidential company information

With added support for Slack, organizations that use Endpoint Protector for content-aware Data Loss Prevention (DLP) can now easily block and alert Slack users if confidential data is about to be shared. Since the tool integrates with cloud storage and sharing tools, like Dropbox, Google Drive and Box, it is important for companies to be able to filter the data being uploaded to Slack to ensure sensitive information doesn't end up in the wrong hands - either intentionally or accidentally.

Employees today increasingly require tools that are flexible and collaborative. CoSoSys' adaptive DLP solution is helping to enable this with cross-platform support across all Slack supported Operating Systems including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Endpoint Protector makes secure and compliant work with Slack possible for organizations of all sizes, across all industries -even those with compliance needs such as PCI, HIPAA or others.

"Today's most innovative organizations are adopting Slack to streamline the way their employees work and interact, "said Roman Foeckl, founder and CEO of CoSoSys." We remain committed to adopting and supporting today's most popular enterprise applications, such as Slack, offering our customers a secure and compliant workspace that gives the users the freedom to use the latest productivity tools."

The update is available with Endpoint Protector version 4.4.1.0, and the Slack addition can be found in the Content Aware Protection module, under the monitored applications of the Reporting and Administration Tool.
