Bring your own keys

With Slack EKM, you use your own keys – stored in Amazon’s Key Management Service (AWS KMS) – to encrypt messages and files. Administrators can revoke key access on a granular level so teams experience minimal disruption. They keep working as usual, and so does Slack.

‘Technology like Slack Enterprise Key Management is rapidly becoming a core requirement for enterprises of all sizes that need enhanced security of their collaboration environment. It becomes more important for enterprises to retain control of their encryption keys.’

Wayne KurtzmanResearch Director for Social, Communities and Collaboration, IDC

Keep work flowing, securely

Your data stays protected while teams keep moving work forward.

Visibility at every step

Get detailed visibility into how your keys are being accessed: usage of your keys to encrypt and decrypt messages and files in Slack is logged in AWS CloudWatch and CloudTrail.

Revoke key access on a granular level

To address security threats, administrators can revoke access in a very targeted manner. Access to messages and files can be revoked at the organisation, workspace, channel, time-frame and file levels.

Keep collaborating in Slack

The Slack experience – from features to performance – remains the same. Teams can keep collaborating using all the Slack features that they know best, even if access to some data is revoked.
