Story
Information Technology work at Slack spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Cloud misconfigurations was splitting across regional habits. Cloud security engineers asked for a shared way to run cloud security review without freezing local judgment.
Zscaler (Zscaler Private Access) is what they standardized on. Zscaler delivers cloud-native zero trust networking so users connect to applications without a traditional VPN or castle-and-moat network. Slack uses it as the system of record for cloud misconfigurations, with cloud security engineers as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
