6 Tips to Optimize Your Salesforce Data Recovery Plan
6 Salesforce Cybersecurity Gaps in Your System Right Now
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 is no longer a single application. It is a living environment of users, permissions, customer records, integrations, workflows, code, metadata, APIs, sandboxes, and increasingly, AI-generated outputs. That flexibility is exactly what makes Salesforce so valuable. It is also what makes it difficult to secure with point-in-time reviews and disconnected controls.
The risk is not always obvious. Most Salesforce cybersecurity gaps do not announce themselves as urgent problems. They accumulate quietly through small decisions: a permission set granted for a project, a connected app approved for convenience, a field left unclassified, a deployment rushed into production, a sandbox refreshed without proper controls.
For Salesforce teams, the message is clear: security gaps rarely exist in isolation. They sit across the platform, connect to each other, and compound over time.

How AutoRABIT + nCino Help Banks Drive Salesforce Digital Transformation
What FedRAMP® Compliance Means for Salesforce Providers
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.
Salesforce has become a core system for many public-sector organizations because it helps agencies modernize citizen services, manage complex workflows, and move faster without building every application from scratch. But that flexibility also raises the bar for security. Every custom app, permission change, integration, and metadata update can affect how sensitive government data is protected.
This is why FedRAMP matters. For Salesforce providers serving government agencies, FedRAMP is more than a procurement requirement. It verifies that a cloud solution has been independently assessed, documented, and continuously monitored against federal security expectations. In an environment where trust must be proven before technology can be adopted, FedRAMP helps separate “secure enough” claims from validated security practices.
We’ll explore these six aspects of Salesforce FedRAMP compliance:

Salesforce AppSec: A Comprehensive Guide to Key Application Security Acronyms
nSight 2026 Made One Thing Clear: Agentic Banking Is Here
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.
Banking is entering a new operating era.
That was one of the clearest takeaways from last month’s nSight conference. The conversation has moved beyond whether AI will reshape financial services. The real question is how quickly banks can build the foundation to use it securely, intelligently, and at scale, and whether that foundation is built to hold up over time.
nCino’s vision for the financial institution of 2030 points to a future defined by agentic workflows, smarter automation, and a deeper connection between bankers and their customers. Technology should expand the role of the banker, not shrink it.

How Do Salesforce Deployment Tools Expedite Release Cycles?
A Buyer’s Guide to SaaS Cloud Security for Salesforce
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.
Revenue teams depend on Salesforce to move deals forward. Service teams use it to resolve customer issues. Finance, legal, operations, and leadership rely on the data inside it to make decisions. And as more organizations extend Salesforce through custom development, third-party applications, automation, AI, and integrated SaaS tools, its security profile becomes more complex.
That complexity creates opportunity. It also creates exposure.
Modern Salesforce security can’t be reduced to access control or compliance checklists. The risk now lives across identities, metadata, configurations, integrations, data flows, development pipelines, and connected applications. Salesforce’s own 2025 security research found that nearly eight in 10 IT security leaders believe their security practices need transformation, a signal that even mature organizations recognize the limits of legacy approaches.
