Why Zendesk security
The risks Zendesk won't fix for you.
Public help-center exposure
Mis-set help-center and ticket visibility can expose internal articles or customer PII publicly.
Over-broad agent roles
Agents and admins with broader access than needed can view or export sensitive customer data.
Risky API tokens & apps
API tokens and marketplace apps with broad access are an unaudited data-access path.
