What is a Slack security bot?

The Casco Slack bot is a conversational application security assistant that brings trusted security context into Slack. Your team can ask about pentest findings, penetration test status, vulnerability priorities, and reports from a private Slack Connect channel.

Read the Slack bot FAQ
01 / NO_MORE_RELAY

The conversation is already here

Stop re-explaining the finding.

AppSec, engineering, and product teams should not have to onboard every stakeholder into another product or manually reconstruct penetration testing evidence in a Slack thread.

THREAD ACTIVE
01

Stay in the active conversation.

Ask follow-up questions from the place engineering and product teams already coordinate their work.

TEAM ALIGNED
02

Bring the right people into the thread.

Invite the stakeholders who can make a decision without requiring a separate Casco onboarding journey for each person.

SOURCE LINKED
03

Keep the answer tied to Casco.

Responses are grounded in Casco findings, run status, and reports instead of a secondhand summary.

02 / ONBOARD_AND_ASK

Automatic during onboarding

Share your workspace ID. We handle the channel.

For new customers, Slack setup happens during portal onboarding. Casco creates the secure shared channel, connects it to your Casco account, and puts the bot in place before your first question.

  1. WORKSPACE FOUND
    01

    Share your Slack workspace ID.

    Enter your workspace ID while you move through Casco portal onboarding or signup. That is the only Slack detail we need from you.

    Casco creates the shared channel.

    Casco automatically creates a private Slack Connect channel from our workspace to yours and connects that channel to the right Casco account.

  3. BOT ALREADY THERE

    Open Slack and mention @Casco.

    The bot is already in the channel. Ask about a finding, run status, or the latest report, and get the answer in a thread.

03 / ASK_NATURALLY

Less scavenging. More resolution.

Ask the question behind the alert.

The penetration testing Slack bot connects each question to the right Casco account and returns a grounded answer about security findings, pentest status, or reports.

@Casco what should engineering prioritize from the last pentest?

CascoAPP10:14 AM

Start with the critical SSRF finding in PDF preview. It is reproducible and has a verified impact path.

Slack security integration vs. Slack bot

The integration sends. The Slack bot answers.

Use automatic notifications to stay aware. Mention the bot when the team needs context, a source, or a follow-up answer.

Casco Slack Bot FAQ

What happens in Slack. And what does not.

Clear answers about automatic notifications, bot conversations, setup, and access.

01

What is the difference between the Slack bot and the Slack integration?

The Slack integration is Casco's outbound notification layer. It posts configured updates when a pentest starts or finishes and when a finding meets your chosen severity. The Slack bot is the interactive layer: mention @Casco to ask questions about findings, recent run status, or the latest report. In short, the integration tells you when something changed; the bot helps you understand it. For new customers, both are delivered in the same private Slack Connect channel that Casco automatically creates during portal onboarding.

02

What is a Slack security bot?

The Casco Slack bot is a conversational application security assistant that answers security questions inside Slack. Casco connects a private Slack channel to the right account so your team can ask about penetration testing findings, pentest status, remediation priorities, and reports without copying sensitive context between tools.

03

What can I ask the Casco Slack bot?

You can ask about application security findings, the status of a recent pentest, which vulnerability engineering should prioritize, or the latest available penetration test report. If a question could refer to more than one application, the bot asks a follow-up so it can use the right account and application context.

04

How does a Slack bot help AppSec teams remediate vulnerabilities faster?

The Casco Slack bot gives AppSec, engineering, and product teams the same grounded answer in the channel where they already collaborate. It reduces security-tool switching, preserves the source finding or report, and makes it easier to bring the right owner into a remediation thread while the context is still fresh.

05

Can the Slack bot start or stop a pentest?

No. The Slack bot can retrieve and explain Casco findings, run status, and reports, but it cannot start, stop, or otherwise change a pentest.

06

How do I connect Casco to Slack during onboarding?

For new customers, Slack setup is part of Casco portal onboarding and signup. Share your Slack workspace ID in the portal, and Casco automatically creates a private shared Slack Connect channel from the Casco workspace to yours. The channel is connected to your Casco account, and the Slack bot is already there, so there is no separate bot installation or configuration step.

07

Which penetration testing notifications can appear in Slack?

The Casco Slack integration can post automatic pentest lifecycle notifications when a run starts or finishes and can alert the channel when a finding matches your configured severity. These push notifications complement the Slack bot, which answers follow-up questions on demand.

08

Is the Casco Slack channel private?

Yes. Casco creates a private Slack Connect channel for your company and connects it to the right Casco account, so your team gets the right security context with every answer.

09

Can I bring other teammates into the conversation?

Yes. Once the shared Slack Connect channel is available in your workspace, you can add the engineers, product owners, or other stakeholders who need to collaborate, subject to your Slack workspace policy. The Casco bot is already in the channel and ready for the team to mention.

10

Does the Slack bot replace the Casco app?

No. Slack gives your team a faster way to ask, understand, and collaborate where work already happens. Casco remains the source of record for complete finding details, reports, configuration, and pentest management.
