Configure Slack Instance in the Skyhigh CASB Sandbox Environment

Skyhigh CASB provides a Sandbox environment to configure a proxy for your Slack instance. Use the following steps to configure your inline proxy to monitor traffic to and from Slack for Data Loss Prevention actions and anomaly detection.

NOTE: Once the Slack instance is configured with the primary or the secondary proxy regions in the Skyhigh CASB's Sandbox environment, you can move the same instance to production. For details, see Move Slack Instance to Production.

To configure a proxy for Slack:

  1. Log in to Skyhigh CASB. 
  2. Go to Settings > Service Management.
  3. Click Add Service Instance
