Kolide: Slack-powered device security ↦

My thanks to Kolide for sponsoring Six Colors this week.

Kolide connects device security and Slack together in a clever way—by sending people important, timely, and relevant recommendations about securing their devices via Slack.

For example, Kolide can instruct developers to set passphrases on unencrypted SSH keys, find plain-text two-factor backup codes and show users how to store them securely, or even encourage employees to uninstall gross browser extensions that sell data to marketers.

It’s a great tool for any company that wasn’t to move beyond the traditional “lockdown model” to one focused on educating and informing employees about security and device management while fixing nuanced problems.

Six Colors readers can try Kolide on an unlimited number of devices with all its features for free and without a credit card for 14 days.
