THE BIG PICTURE
In 2024, 30.2% of businesses experienced data loss, up from 17.2% in 2023. A well-planned Salesforce data recovery plan gives organizations the tools and guidance they need to quickly return to operations after a data outage and avoid costly downtime.
There are far too many potential sources of data loss to completely guard against all of them. Those who fail to plan for worst-case scenarios are setting themselves up for loss of consumer trust, compliance failures, and massive amounts of lost money.
Salesforce data archiving is no longer a secondary operational concern. At scale, it becomes a structural requirement.
As Salesforce environments mature, data volumes outpace governance models, performance expectations tighten, and regulatory exposure increases. What starts as healthy growth eventually introduces friction. Data archiving is how disciplined organizations remove that friction without sacrificing insight, compliance, or resilience.
This is not about deleting data or losing history. It is about applying control to the Salesforce data lifecycle, so production environments remain fast, defensible, and fit for purpose as the business evolves.
Industry Pulse
Banks looking to streamline processes and increase the value they offer their customers will see huge benefits from combining the power of AutoRABIT and nCino on Salesforce. Banking customers expect state-of-the-art software and mobile capabilities.
Any bank that doesn’t offer these capabilities will fall behind their competition. The financial services industry is among the most frequent targets for cybercriminals. Having a constantly updated data security approach is critical to properly protecting sensitive data.
Banks understand security as a system, not a feature. Controls are layered. Assumptions are tested. Risk is managed across people, processes, and technology. That discipline has long applied to core banking platforms, data warehouses, and identity systems.
Salesforce, however, often sits outside that legacy security mindset.
As financial institutions rely more heavily on Salesforce to orchestrate customer engagement, service workflows, and internal operations, the platform has quietly become a repository for regulated data. Personally identifiable information, financial context, and operational signals now move freely through Salesforce environments. Yet many banks still treat data protection inside Salesforce as a secondary concern.
Expert Voices
In the realm of application security, many industry experts often refer to acronyms and as a developer, decoding these acronyms is crucial, as they represent key facets of safeguarding your applications.
In this guide, we’ll unravel the top 7 application security acronyms, offering not just their definitions but also insights into how code scanning tools address potential vulnerabilities, along with a glimpse into real-world examples of potential hacks.
Salesforce has become an essential platform for government and regulated industries, empowering agencies to deliver services, manage sensitive citizen data, and modernize digital operations. But with that opportunity comes risk. Salesforce is sprawling, highly customizable, and often underserved by generic security tools. Misconfigurations, permission sprawl, and insecure code can easily slip through, creating vulnerabilities that threaten mission readiness and compliance.
For public sector leaders, the challenge is clear: they need security solutions that are both Salesforce- specific and government-grade.
That’s why we’re proud to announce that AutoRABIT CodeScan and AutoRABIT Guard have achieved a FedRAMP Moderate Authorization to Operate (ATO).
Beyond the Buzz
Human error is continuously labeled as the leading cause of data loss. Salesforce deployment tools reduce the potential for human error by automating critical quality and security processes in the DevOps lifecycle.
A streamlined release cycle enables organizations to be more flexible and agile in their responses to software needs. Eliminating errors and automating time-consuming manual processes enable faster delivery of features and updates.
Salesforce programs rarely struggle because teams don’t know how to build. They struggle because the environments they test in don’t reflect reality.
When sandboxes are filled with incomplete, outdated, or unrealistic data, teams validate the wrong assumptions. Automations behave differently, permissions don’t break the way they will in production, edge cases go undiscovered, and confidence is built on a false sense of safety.
Sandbox seeding exists to correct that gap. Done well, it turns non-production environments into reliable proving grounds instead of hopeful approximations.
