Salesforce Security: Why continuous measures are critical

Share this article

Security breaches and system vulnerabilities are no longer rare exceptions. In fact, recent cyberattacks have affected not only Salesforce customers but companies across the SaaS landscape. This doesn’t make Salesforce insecure — it highlights the need for ongoing configuration, review, and governance.

Salesforce provides the platform, the tools, and the infrastructure. But you — the customer — are responsible for how it’s configured, what apps are connected, and how data access is managed.

That’s where your Salesforce partner comes in.
