Keeper Security announced a Slack integration on January 26, 2026, bringing privileged access management directly into workplace messaging channels. The cybersecurity company's new feature extends zero-trust controls to Slack, where teams already coordinate approvals and incident response.
The integration lets organizations handle requests for Keeper Vault resources without leaving Slack. Users can request credentials, shared folders, service accounts, and protected applications through the messaging platform, while Keeper maintains cryptographic controls, policy enforcement, encryption, and audit functions separately from Slack's workflow interface.
"Security breaks down when people have to step outside governed systems," said Craig Lurey, Keeper Security's CTO and co-founder. "We designed this integration so that Slack functions as a workflow interface, not a security boundary."
Slack adoption spans organizations of all sizes, with particularly strong usage in European markets including the UK. The platform serves as a primary workspace for operational coordination, making it a natural location for access governance integration.
Access provisioning operates on a just-in-time basis with no standing privileges. Every request, approval decision, and usage event generates centralized audit logs for compliance requirements.
The system eliminates insecure communication channels like email threads and screenshots, which can expose organizations to threats similar to those found in malicious extensions discovered in AI marketplaces.
The Slack App and Keeper Commander containers run on customer infrastructure, preserving Keeper's zero-knowledge architecture. Customers retain complete control over data encryption and decryption processes.
"As organizations adopt more collaborative and distributed ways of working, security has to adapt without surrendering authority," Lurey added. "This launch reflects Keeper's long-term view of access governance as a wider platform capability, not a point integration."
Keeper Security protects thousands of organizations across more than 150 countries. The company's KeeperPAM platform appears in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management, providing AI-enabled security for passwords, passkeys, and infrastructure secrets.
This security approach addresses the kind of urgent vulnerabilities that have prompted major technology companies to issue critical security warnings.
The Slack integration became available to existing Keeper customers on January 26, 2026, with plans to extend similar governance to other workplace systems where operational decisions occur regularly.
