REASONS FOR TRUSTING THE SUPERIOR DATA SECURITY OF CLOUD SALESFORCE

Trust is fundamental in choosing any cloud computing service, and it develops
from the amount of data security that you avail. When you are sure of complete
data protection, there is every reason to trust the service.
The other factor that plays a significant role in choosing the cloud service
provider is reliability that is closely associated with trust. Salesforce DX,
the latest version of the platform bears the hallmarks of superior data security
that does not leave anything to doubt.
Thus, when using the Salesforce cloud platform, you stay assured that your data
is more secure than ever before because of the continuous process of improvement
that addresses all ongoing concerns of users.
Despite the robust security measures, users remain skeptical due to lack of
proper understanding of security systems.
IGNORANCE LEADS TO APPREHENSION
Users are very sensitive about the security of cloud computing because of their
concern about the precious data they store in the cloud that is worth more than
the most valuable possessions. Perhaps the invisible existence of the cloud has
something to do with the apprehension about its vulnerability. Users might feel
that data would remain more secure when stored in front of the eyes, on site,
although this is not at all correct.
While the debate continues, there should not be any concern about cloud security
because 64% of enterprise companies use the cloud because they consider it safer
and secure than legacy systems. The trust on cloud security reflects the
attitude of the majority of cloud users (87%), who do not consider security as a
factor among the top five concerns in cloud computing.
Salesforce intends to take cloud security to the next level so that the cloud
becomes an impregnable fortress for data. Read on to know how they achieve it.
BUILDING TRUST BY STAYING TRANSPARENT
Gaining the trust of users is essential to building their confidence about the
reliability of cloud computing services. It is also necessary for implementing
superior security systems that ensure safe cloud computing. By maintaining
transparency about the security measures, Salesforce has been able to generate
trust among users.
With the goal of keeping users informed and updated about the status of user
data, they continuously provide live data about any attempted intrusion,
malware, phishing and data related to updates and system performance. The
information helps users to know the state of their data at any point in time and
gives the satisfaction of knowing that it is safe.
MONITORING EVENTS
The better you can keep a tab on events as and when it occurs, better you would
be able to maintain the security of the system. In simple words, you must stay
proactive and know about what is happening on the system to ensure better
security.
Salesforce implements event monitoring for providing users with the details of
actions that take place and even actions that the service provider takes on the
system. This helps in early detection of issues, and it is possible to resolve
the issues quickly before it can harm the system.
AUTHORIZATION FOR ACCESSING DATA
The aspect of authorization is an important security feature for any software
application to ensure that only authorized persons can access the data. However,
for Salesforce, the authorization aspect acquires special importance due to the
multi-tenant nature of the platform where a wide range of clients works on the
same platform for different services.
The authorization ensures that every client can access only the data of their
organization so that the information and data of other clients remain protected.
By using unique organization identifiers that initiates the process of logging
into every session, it is possible to ensure that only persons authorized to
access the data can use it.
DATA ISOLATION
The virtual openness of the cloud might make it appear as if anyone can access
the data stored in it, but this is far from the truth. By keeping the data
isolated it is possible to keep it most secured, and Salesforce uses this
technique to assure users that their data remains well protected.
The server environment remains wholly secured so that the data inside remains
out of reach of trespassers. To prevent unauthorized access, it uses advanced
technology that not only keeps the data protected but also ensures that no
matter how many users access the system, the response time remains the same.
AUTHENTICATION AND ENCRYPTION
The technology used by Salesforce for authorization and authentication keeps it
much ahead in ensuring the best security of data. For the purpose, they use
Transport Layer Security (TLS), which is the most advanced version of data
security management. By using the latest technology, it is possible to ward off
threats to security that also keeps increasing. Thus, data remains safe and
secure in the cloud.
SECURITY HEALTH CHECK
Although it is the primary responsibility of the cloud service provider to
ensure complete security of data, users too must share the responsibility for
proper data protection.
Users must ensure that password policy, network configuration, and session
settings are free from security weaknesses by eradicating any identifiable
weakness. To help users, the Security Health Check feature of Salesforce is
useful to identify security weaknesses in their areas and rectify it.
SHARING BEST SECURITY PRACTICES
For maintaining real security, the service providers and users must work
together as partners. It will never be possible to ensure complete security by
relying on the strength of service providers alone as explained above.
Even the best security system of service providers can become ineffective if
users do not play their part well. Users must gather knowledge about the best
security practices and implement it correctly so that they can plug all gaps at
their end. For keeping users well informed about the best security practices,
Salesforce shares tailor-made and organization-specific updates with users.
Only when users and service providers work in perfect harmony, can you achieve
the highest standard of security that keeps data free from all threats? This is
when users become empowered to do their jobs efficiently and safely.
