Abnormal Security for Slack

Analyze human behavior to secure Slack collaboration.

Key Insights

Slack has been used as an entry point, for chat phishing, lateral movement, and victim taunting in recent high-profile cloud breaches.

Abnormal connects to Slack via a cloud-native API, ingesting access, privilege, and messaging data to scan all messages for malicious URLs.

Abnormal builds a behavioral baseline for every Slack user and alerts administrators when anomalous activity or sudden privilege escalations occur.

Extend Abnormal Protection Across All Platforms

Humans are the biggest vulnerability for any organization, and while email is the primary way those humans are targeted, collaboration apps like Slack present significant risk. Slack has been a centerpiece in many of the most recent and highest profile cloud breaches, being used as the entry point, a way to execute chat phishing attacks, as a means to move laterally, or in some cases, a way to taunt the victim’s organization. To stop would-be Slack hacks, security teams need an extensible platform that provides consistent visibility and security automation across not only Slack but all cloud applications and infrastructure services for holistic, higher-fidelity threat detection. Abnormal provides that platform.

How Abnormal Secures Slack

Simple API Integration to Stop Malicious Messages

Connect directly to Slack with Abnormal’s cloud-native API architecture—automatically ingesting and normalizing access, privilege, and messaging data. Abnormal analyzes all Slack messages for malicious URLs and immediately notifies the SOC team once detected.

Continuous Monitoring of Slack Privileges and Human Behavior

Automatically learn and dynamically monitor Slack access patterns and user privileges. Abnormal builds a behavioral baseline for every human in Slack, notifying administrators when anomalous activity occurs or when user privileges are suddenly elevated.

AI Account Takeover and Response

When suspicious activity occurs, Abnormal Human Behavior AI automatically triggers the creation of a contextual Case populated with Slack activity. Each Case is scored based on detection confidence and continually enriched with new activity across all platforms integrated with Abnormal.
