# messaging\_kik

**Explanation**

The messaging\_kik NDM is designed to detect the use of the Kik messaging application on the network.

**What to Look For**

If the messaging\_kik event is triggered, you should examine the network for any instances of Kik messaging traffic. You should also check endpoints for the presence of the Kik application, as this may indicate unauthorized use of the app by employees or other users. To prevent potential security issues, it is recommended that you proactively monitor Kik traffic on your network and restrict or block access to the application if necessary.
