Armorblox announces Box and Slack integrations to protect remote workforces across communication platforms
Cloud office adoption is becoming nearly universal, accelerated even further by the rush to support remote workforces. This distributed nature of both people and applications has led to gaps in data visibility and security, with employees collaborating across email, Slack, Box, and other applications. Whether inadvertently or maliciously, employees share PII, PCI, passwords, and confidential data – either with outside parties or laterally across email, messaging, and file-sharing services. The expanded threat surface has also heralded a rise in socially engineered attacks that host credential phishing sites on reputed cloud applications.
Armorblox, which was recently named a Gartner Cool Vendor, is a cloud office security platform that connects with email, Box, and Slack over APIs. By leveraging natural language understanding, deep learning, and other techniques, Armorblox analyzes thousands of signals including the language within enterprise communications. Under its email protection capabilities, Armorblox stops socially engineered attacks such as payroll fraud, vendor fraud, account takeovers, and advanced VIP/employee impersonation.
For enterprises using Box or Slack, Armorblox will detect malicious URLs and sensitive information such as PII/PCI data, whether at rest or in transit. Security teams can leverage preconfigured policies to automatically assign remediation actions to offending emails, Box files, or Slack messages.
