Microsoft has banned its employees from using the free version of Slack, reportedly due to security concerns.
Microsoft
has a list of prohibited software and services, and even Amazon Web
Services (AWS) and Google Docs are "discouraged for use" inside the
company, The Verge reported on Saturday.
As per the company,
"Slack Free, Slack Standard and Slack Plus versions do not provide
required controls to properly protect Microsoft Intellectual Property
(IP)" and hence it advises that staff should use its internally
developed software instead.
"Existing users of these solutions
should migrate chat history and files related to Microsoft business to
Microsoft Teams, which offers the same features and integrated Office
365 apps, calling and meeting functionality.
"Slack Enterprise
Grid version complies with Microsoft security requirements, however, we
encourage use of Microsoft Teams rather than a competitive software."
The
document states that Amazon Web Services and Google Docs compete
directly with Microsoft's Azure cloud and Office 365 respectively, and
are discouraged for use and require a business justification.
In
addition, Grammarly is banned because the Office add-in and browser
extensions should not be used on the Microsoft network because they are
able to access Information Rights Management (IRM) protected content
within emails and documents.
GitHub's cloud version is also unsurprisingly discouraged for highly confidential types of information, specs or code.
