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 now sits at the center of revenue operations, customer experience, and regulated business processes. When that system fails—whether through human error, malicious activity, or cascading misconfiguration—the impact isn’t limited to IT. It shows up in missed revenue, compliance exposure, and loss of trust.
At the same time, cloud risk has become quieter and more persistent. Credential-based attacks are happening at industrial scale. Microsoft reports blocking roughly 7,000 password attacks per second across its cloud ecosystem, underscoring how frequently access—not infrastructure—is the point of failure.
Salesforce backup is no longer about whether data exists somewhere “just in case.” It’s about whether recovery itself is safe, fast, and controlled under pressure.
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.
Healthcare compliance is often treated like a documentation problem: keep the right spreadsheets, collect the right screenshots, store the right policies, and hope nothing slips. But modern healthcare isn’t static, and Salesforce environments are anything but. Apps evolve weekly. Permissions drift daily. Integrations multiply. Data moves.
In that reality, “manual compliance” becomes a quiet liability. Not because teams don’t care, but because humans can’t reliably track a living system at the speed it changes.
Here are seven things you need to know about what breaks first, why it matters, and what a Salesforce compliance automation-first approach looks like:
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 isn’t your typical program. It’s evolved into mission-critical infrastructure. It runs revenue operations, customer data, regulated workflows, and increasingly complex custom code. Yet many organizations still manage Salesforce DevSecOps the same way they always have: by acquiring tools reactively, one problem at a time.
A deployment tool is added after a failed release. A security scanner follows an audit finding. A backup solution arrives after an outage. Each decision makes sense in isolation. Together, they quietly increase complexity.
Over time, teams don’t just accumulate tools. They inherit fragmentation. And fragmentation is where risk takes hold.
