Sécurité Salesforce : ce que chaque cadre doit savoir après la brèche de Disney Slack

The Real Risk: Human Error in Secure Systems

Salesforce is one of the most secure platforms available. But security isn’t just about the software. It’s about how your people use it.

According to Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report, 74% of data breaches involve human error—things like:

• Poor password practices
  
  
• Bypassing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
  
  
• Mismanaging permissions
  
  
• Downloading unverified third-party apps
  
  

So while your Salesforce org might be bulletproof on paper, it’s only as strong as your team’s behavior.

Executive Guide: How to Protect Your Salesforce Org

Every business leader should be asking one question:
"Is our Salesforce instance as secure as we think?"

Here’s what every executive and decision-maker must enforce immediately:

✅ Principle of Least Privilege

Give users access only to what they absolutely need. No more. No less. Over-privileged accounts are a common entry point for hackers.

✅ Use a Secure Password Manager

Storing logins in spreadsheets or emails? That’s an open invitation to cybercriminals. Use tools like 1Password, LastPass, or Bitwarden to manage access securely.

✅ Enforce Strong Password Policies

Require passwords that include special characters and are at least 8-12 characters long. Consider rotating passwords regularly for admin roles.

✅ Mandatory Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

MFA is non-negotiable. It adds a critical second layer of defense, even if a password is compromised.

✅ Ongoing Security Awareness Training

Train your team to spot phishing, malware, and social engineering tactics. One careless click can bring down your entire system.

✅ Restrict Third-Party App Installations

Especially unverified AI tools or browser extensions. Vet every tool before it touches your Salesforce environment.

✅ Perform Regular Backups

Have a disaster recovery solution in place. Even if something slips through, data redundancy can save your business.

Security Is Culture

Cybersecurity isn’t just a job for IT—it’s a company-wide responsibility. Executive teams must lead by example, enforce best practices, and never assume “it won’t happen to us.”

If it can happen to Disney, it can happen to anyone.
