Enhancing Collaboration Security: Keeper Security Integrates Zero-Trust PAM with Slack

In a significant move to bolster organizational security, Keeper Security has announced the launch of its integration with the popular collaboration platform, Slack. This advancement reflects Keeper's commitment to providing robust zero-trust and zero-knowledge Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions that protect sensitive data, including passwords, infrastructure secrets, and remote access points. By embedding its security controls directly into Slack's interface, Keeper aims to enhance operational governance without compromising the principles of least privilege access and encryption.

The Role of Slack in Modern Workspaces

Slack has established itself as a primary communication tool within organizations of all sizes, fostering collaboration through messaging channels that facilitate approvals, incident responses, and daily coordination. As thousands of third-party integrations enhance Slack-based workflows, it has become a central hub for operational decision-making, making the integration of access governance not only sensible but essential.

Keeper's integration allows teams to efficiently request and approve access to Keeper Vault resources — such as shared folders and service accounts — all within Slack. This innovative integration ensures that Keeper remains the authoritative source for access enforcement, compliance, auditing, and encryption, enabling organizations to safely navigate their operational environments.

Designed for Efficient Security

Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder of Keeper Security, emphasized that traditional security measures often falter when users are forced to operate outside regulated environments. The new integration establishes Slack as a functional workflow interface rather than a security boundary, allowing organizations to maintain their productivity while enforcing stringent security protocols.

"Security breaks down when people have to step outside governed systems," Lurey said. "We designed this integration so that Slack functions as a workflow interface, not a security boundary."

Keeper's approach separates responsibilities effectively yet maintains convenience. While workflow platforms like Slack initiate requests and approvals, Keeper enforces access policies and cryptographic controls uniquely. This separation allows organizations to uphold security guarantees without disrupting workflow efficiency.

A New Perspective on Access Governance

By streamlining access approvals within Slack, Keeper helps eliminate insecure communication methods such as email threads or direct messages. Organizations can implement strict least-privilege policies while retaining centralized governance across their cloud-based, hybrid, and on-premises assets. Every access request initiated in Slack is automatically routed to the appropriate approvers, ensuring compliance and fast response times.

Established access protocols like Just-in-Time (JIT) provisioning ensure that privileges are granted only when necessary, significantly reducing the risk levels associated with inactive accounts or unnecessary access. Additionally, every event — from requests to approvals — is logged for audit purposes, providing organizations with precise compliance records.

This integration is part of Keeper's broader strategy to incorporate zero-trust access governance within systems that already handle essential business functions. Rather than introducing fragmented security controls or new vulnerabilities, Keeper's implementation focuses on preserving a cohesive security framework combined with operational efficiency.

As organizations transition to more collaborative and distributed methods of operation, the need for dynamic security adaptations becomes increasingly paramount.

Keeper's Slack integration is now available to all customers, marking a new chapter in access governance within collaborative contexts. For further details on this initiative and other offerings by Keeper Security, visit KeeperSecurity.com.
