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.
