The risks of unmanaged code in collaboration

Source code is some of the most valuable intellectual property a business can own, and often contains other sensitive information such as API keys and access credentials. Protecting it is paramount to securing company secrets and remaining competitive in the marketplace. However, in recent years there have been several high-profile leaks of code from major tech and gaming companies, including Microsoft, Adobe, EA Sports, Disney and many more, and often these leaks originate from collaboration tools and data sets where employees work. 

Popular messaging platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams increase productivity and enhance collaborative work, accelerating the pace of innovation, but hackers and other malicious actors are increasingly aware of the value of the data contained within them. Limiting the channels through which code is shared and enforcing acceptable use policies around IP security are essential steps to protecting company assets.

IMPORTANCE OF CODE DETECTION

Why you need to detect and protect code in collaboration

Restricting code sharing in collaboration tools like Slack and Teams can protect valuable IP from unauthorized access or exfiltration, strengthening your information security posture.
