Salesforce has become a prime target for cyber attackers — not through theory, but through real-world incidents affecting major enterprises. In this expert interview, Tim West and Elisa Mustonen unpack the tactics attackers are using, why identity is the new battleground, and what security leaders must prioritise to keep their Salesforce environments safe.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why attackers are moving from ransomware encryption to data theft, and why Salesforce is in the crosshairs.

  • Lessons from real-world cases like UK retailer breaches and Scattered Spider tactics.
  • The dangers of overprivileged users and lack of visibility inside Salesforce.
  • Key takeaways for securing Salesforce in 2025 — from MFA and least privilege to real-time content scanning.
