Box security — shared links, external collab and apps.

Box stores your files — public shared links, broad external collaboration and over-scoped apps are how they leak. WoneShield secures your Box posture and data sharing continuously.

Why Box security

The risks Box won't fix for you.

Public shared links

Open shared links expose files to anyone with the URL, often indefinitely and unmonitored.

Broad external collaboration

External collaborators added to sensitive folders extend access well beyond your organization.

Over-scoped apps & integrations

Connected apps with broad access become an unaudited data-exfiltration path.
