Salesforce and the Zero Trust Mandate
16May

The Zero Trust Architecture Mandate

President Biden’s recent executive directive, mandating “all federal agencies and executive departments [to] transition to a zero trust architecture to bolster defenses against … cyber threats,” demands swift action from your agency. Zero Trust Architecture Mandate. As the landscape of remote work and cloud-based assets continues to evolve, traditional IT security strategies like VPNs and firewalls are proving less effective and increasingly perilous. These strategies, relying on perimeter defense, are becoming inefficient for organizations confronting diverse cyber threats. With remote work at its pinnacle and assets predominantly in the cloud, the demand for secure remote access to applications, data, and services has surged. Conventional security measures may no longer suffice in thwarting increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks. The paradigm shift in government cybersecurity is evident; perimeter defense is no longer adequate. The surge in hybrid working environments among government employees and inter-agency collaborations introduces new cybersecurity challenges and risks. The escalating frequency, cost, and impact of cyberthreat actions necessitate a robust cybersecurity posture. Cybercriminals, now targeting smaller agencies, underscore the urgency for enhanced network security and more effective remote access solutions than legacy VPNs. Enter zero trust architecture. For government agencies embarking on the zero trust journey, unwinding legacy security processes poses challenges but promises substantial benefits. To initiate this transformation, agencies should consider the following steps: Engage your IT team in a conversation about zero trust architecture: Recognize the importance of zero trust architecture—right now: Develop a checklist of questions to map your zero trust architecture: Educate your organization about the importance of data security: Emphasize the significance of data security, particularly in the context of multifactor authentication (MFA), a crucial component of zero trust architecture. Mitigate “security fatigue” among employees by ensuring a clear understanding of data security policies and the rationale behind them. Consider moving to a Zero Trust tool like Salesforce. Salesforce CRM is one of foremost cloud services today, delivered with a comprehensive security and compliance approach, and via platform which incorporates a number of Zero Trust best practices. On the Salesforce corporation side, Zero Trust helps us all become better protected against advanced persistent threats, nation-state actors, or other attacks, so that we are all more resilient. And as a product to customers, you should have comfort knowing that your data is better protected. The benefits that Zero Trust brings to our organization are the same benefits it brings to our customers. Salesforce also has introduced Salesforce Shield.  Salesforce Shield allows you to encrypt your Salesforce data with AES 256-bit encryption at the field-level, as well as manage your own encryption keys. Key takeaways of platform encryption include: AES 256-bit: The highest level of encryption available within Salesforce.

Salesforce Data Cloud Explained

Salesforce Data Cloud, previously recognized as Salesforce CDP/Genie, made its debut at Dreamforce 2022, hailed by Salesforce as one of the most significant innovations in the company’s history. A hyperscale data platform built into Salesforce. Activate all your customer data across Salesforce applications with Data Cloud. Data Cloud facilitates the intake and storage of real-time data streams on a massive scale, empowering automated tasks that result in highly personalized experiences. Data can be sourced from diverse Salesforce data outlets, including Mulesoft, Marketing Cloud, and others, along with customers’ proprietary applications and data sources. Subsequently, it can dynamically respond to this real-time data by automating actions across Salesforce CRM, Marketing Cloud, Commerce, and more, inclusive of automating actions through Salesforce Flow. What is the Salesforce data cloud? Data Cloud is the fastest growing organically built product in Salesforce’s history (i.e. Salesforce built it themselves, not via acquisitions). Data Cloud could be described as the ‘Holy Grail of CRM’, meaning that the data problem that’s existed since the infancy of CRM is now finally solvable. Data Cloud is the foundation that speeds up the connectivity between different ‘clouds’ across the platform. However, Data Cloud is also a product that can be purchased. While not all Salesforce customers have licensed Data Cloud, being at the foundation means they are still taking advantage of Data Cloud to a degree – but this all becomes even stronger with Data Cloud as a personalization and data unification platform. What is the history of Data Cloud? Salesforce has gone through several iterations with naming its CDP product: Customer 360 Audiences → Salesforce CDP → Marketing Cloud Customer Data Platform → Salesforce Genie → Salesforce Data Cloud.  In some instances, changes were made because the name just didn’t stick – but what’s more important to note, is that some of the name changes were to indicate the significant developments that happened to the product. Salesforce Data Cloud Differentiators Data Cloud, in itself, is impressive. While many organizations would consider it expensive, if you were to flip the argument on its head, by buying your own data warehouse, building the star schema, and paying for ongoing compute storage, you’d be looking to spend 5 to 10 times more than what Salesforce is charging for Data Cloud. Plus, data harmonization works best when your CRM data is front and center. There are other key differentiators that helps Data Cloud to stand out from the crowd: Is data cloud a data lakehouse? That means that Data Cloud is now not just a really good CDP, it’s now a data lake which will be used in sales and service use cases. But it also means that we can start to fundamentally move some of our higher-scale consumer products like Marketing and Commerce onto the platform. Is Snowflake a data Lakehouse? Snowflake offers customers the ability to ingest data to a managed repository, in what’s commonly referred to as a data warehouse architecture, but also gives customers the ability to read and write data in cloud object storage, functioning as a data lake query engine. What is the benefit of Salesforce data cloud? Data Cloud empowers Salesforce Sales Cloud with AI capabilities and automation that quickly closes deals and boosts productivity across every channel. It drives customer data from all the touchpoints and unifies it separately in individual customer profiles.  Salesforce Data Cloud is a powerful data warehouse solution that allows companies to effectively manage and analyze their data. What is the difference between Salesforce CDP and data lake? Talking abut Salesforce CDP is a little bit like a history lesson. While a CDP provides a unified, structured view of customer data, a data lake, on the other hand, is more of a raw, unstructured storage repository that holds a vast amount of data (more than just customer data) in its native format until it’s needed.

Salesforce FlowLog

Salesforce FlowLog

Admins sometimes wonder if their work is being used effectively. Salesforce FlowLog is a great solution. While it’s easy to track whether fields are being filled out or new records are being created, many of the things built—such as background flows that automate processes—are harder to measure. These automations often run behind the scenes, making their impact less visible. Building, testing, and debugging automations can be challenging, even with the improvements in Flow Builder. Sometimes visualizing the process within a flow can be difficult. In screen flows, it’s possible to add interstitial screens to display variable values or messages to track progress. However, in record-triggered flows, which operate invisibly during or before record saving, tracking what’s happening becomes more complex. To address this, some admins use Chatter posts, either on created or updated records or tagged to a special Chatter Group for aggregation: A Chatter Group page showing a post indicating a contact was updated by the Skyvia integration user. Tasks can also be used for tracking, as they are easy to create and relate to updated records: Classic contact page with an image formula displaying the organization’s logo and status. While these methods are useful for debugging, they are not ideal for reporting on flow activity or capturing structured data. Introducing FlowLog To address these limitations, a custom object called “FlowLog” was created specifically for logging flow activities. This object includes fields for the flow name, version, step, and notes. The records are auto-numbered for easy sorting by creation time. Once the FlowLog object was set up, adding a Create Record step in any flow became straightforward: Assignment step setting values for FlowLog record. Easier with a Subflow To simplify the process further, an autolaunched flow was created and named “FlowLog.” This subflow can be included in other flows to log steps along the path or different decision paths: A flow canvas showing the FlowLog subflow used at different decision points. Avoiding Redundancy Rather than recreating the custom object and subflow for each new client, it is more efficient to store and install these elements multiple times. Three main methods to achieve this are: File viewer in VisualStudio Code displaying FlowLog object, fields, and flow definitions. Salesforce FlowLog None of these solutions are groundbreaking, but they offer practical approaches anyone can use. Creating a FlowLog object similar to the one described is encouraged. Sharing a public GitHub repo might seem too straightforward, so exploring and setting up these solutions independently is recommended. Now, equipped with these ideas, it’s time to get hands-on with Salesforce Setup. ⚙️ Like Related Posts Salesforce OEM AppExchange Expanding its reach beyond CRM, Salesforce.com has launched a new service called AppExchange OEM Edition, aimed at non-CRM service providers.

Channels and Tactics Redefine Customer Engagement

In today’s digital era, data is the core of enterprises, transforming actionable insights from a secondary role to a mission-critical element. Channels and Tactics Redefine Customer Engagement for nearly everyone. Marketers are investing heavily in tools and technologies that unify data, enabling brands to create unique customer profiles, automate campaigns, and scale personalized strategies effectively. While customer relationship management (CRM) systems are widely popular, marketers use a variety of tools to maintain relationships throughout the customer lifecycle. Notably, 89% of B2B and B2B2C marketers utilize account-based marketing platforms to conduct targeted campaigns in collaboration with their sales and service teams. To meet the growing demand for data-driven, personalized, and scalable customer experiences, over half of marketers have adopted artificial intelligence (AI). Additionally, 90% use CRM systems, 89% employ account-based marketing platforms, and 62% leverage AI. Marketers are keenly aware of customer trends and are experimenting with new digital channels to connect with their audience. Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) cite customer preferences and expectations as the primary drivers of digital strategy. Recognizing the dominance of streaming services in the media landscape, marketers are increasingly using TV and over-the-top (OTT) platforms to reach prospects and customers. Video remains a crucial component of the marketing mix, with both pre-produced and livestream videos gaining traction. As customers show a growing preference for online engagement, marketers are leveraging a wide range of interactive and user-generated content to satisfy this demand. Interactive content and livestream videos, in particular, have experienced the most significant annual growth. Channels and Tactics Redefine Customer Engagement and that is not likely to change any time soon.

Guide to Who is Running Flows
06May

Guide to Who is Running Flows

Understanding the Role of the Running User in Flows Guide to Who is Running Flows. The running user in a flow is the individual who initiates the flow, either the current user or the Automated Process user. This user determines what actions the flow can perform with Salesforce data when executed in user context. Grasping the significance of the running user is crucial when designing automation in Flow Builder, as it directly affects record operations and troubleshooting. Let’s dig deeper into this essential aspect. Identifying the Running User The running user is the person who triggers the flow, which can be either the current user or the Automated Process user. Recognizing the running user provides insights into flow actions and aids in diagnosing issues. For flows operating in user context, the running user’s profile and permission sets determine the flow’s object permissions and field-level access. When a flow interacts with Salesforce data, it adheres to these permissions and access levels. Flow Execution Context Flows operate within three distinct contexts: user context, system context with sharing, and system context without sharing. Each context affects how the flow interacts with Salesforce data and respects user permissions and access levels. Understanding Flow Types and Contexts Different flow types operate within specific contexts: By understanding the role of the running user, you can optimize Flow’s capabilities in your automation processes. Maximize the power of Flow with confidence, ensuring compliance with user permissions and access levels. #LetItFlow! For more automation insights, visit our Automation pages on our insights.

Salesforce Health Cloud, a specialized platform designed for healthcare organizations, aims to streamline operations and provide personalized care. By leveraging cloud technology, mobile capabilities, and social integration, Health Care Cloud enhances productivity, reduces costs, and offers a comprehensive view of patient data. Salesforce keeps electronic personal health information (ephi) safe and secure. Since its inception, Salesforce Health Cloud has evolved significantly to meet the unique and challenging needs of the healthcare sector. The introduction of Customer 360 for Health marks a milestone in fostering empathetic care and promoting collaboration among healthcare teams. What is Salesforce Health Cloud? At its core, Health Cloud facilitates seamless collaboration among healthcare teams to ensure optimal patient care. With robust security measures in place, patient data remains secure and accessible only to authorized personnel. Salesforce Health provides care teams with convenient access to both clinical and non-clinical patient information, including health conditions, medications, appointment history, communication preferences, and data from Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Categorized under Salesforce Industry Clouds, Health Cloud combines CRM capabilities with specialized features tailored for healthcare providers, payers, medical device companies, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Its goal is to deliver personalized, connected care across the entire, sometimes disjointed healthcare ecosystem. Why Use Salesforce Health Cloud? Salesforce Health offers benefits to various stakeholders within the healthcare industry, including providers, payers, manufacturers, and research organizations. In a challenging healthcare landscape, Health Cloud addresses concerns such as managing complex patient data and enhancing patient experiences effectively.
