Salesforce is mission-critical for most organisations — the heartbeat of sales, service, and customer data.
But it’s also one of the most underestimated security risks in today’s enterprise landscape.

Attackers no longer need to “break in.”
They simply abuse trust:

• Stolen OAuth tokens granting persistent access
• Over-permissive Connected Apps bypassing governance
• Misconfigured APIs exposing sensitive data

The result? Silent data exfiltration, compliance failures, and reputational damage that often go unnoticed until it’s too late.

Why Salesforce Has Become a Target

As enterprises embrace SaaS-first ecosystems, Salesforce has evolved from a standalone CRM into a deeply integrated data hub.
That integration — while powerful — creates new attack surfaces that most security teams struggle to see, let alone manage.

Traditional security controls don’t apply here.
You can’t deploy EDR agents or firewall rules inside Salesforce.
Instead, visibility depends on governance, configuration management, and continuous monitoring.

Our latest report from Peritus Cloud Security, Salesforce Security Risk & Resilience, explains why identity, configuration, and integration now sit at the core of Salesforce defence.

What’s Inside the Report

The report goes beyond surface-level issues to give CISOs a practical, outcome-driven blueprint:

✅ Quantified risk model – Assess regulatory, operational, and reputational impact with measurable KPIs.
✅ Governance maturity scoring – Use Salesforce Health Check as a metric for configuration and control strength.
✅ Integration hardening – Review and restrict Connected Apps and third-party API access.
✅ Practical roadmap (0–24 months) – Build a phased plan to reduce attack surface and improve resilience.
