Slack launches encryption keys so businesses can protect their data
Slack today introduced enterprise key management (EKM), a tool that allows businesses to create their own security keys and control encryption and decryption of conversations, files, and data they share in Slack. The security measure was first previewed last fall at the Slack developer conference Frontiers and described at the time by head of product April Underwood as a tool that delivers the promise of on-premise security with the benefits of the cloud.
