Block jailbroken or rooted mobile devices from accessing Slack
Block jailbroken or rooted mobile devices from accessing Slack
To keep data secure, workspace owners and org owners can prevent members from accessing Slack on devices that appear to be jailbroken (iOS) or rooted (Android).
Note: Slack has developed this detection algorithm based on industry best practices. Please note that our system may not be able to detect 100% of compromised devices, and there may be false positives where we flag devices that don’t qualify as compromised.
