Salesforce Security Basics

The Salesforce security features help you empower your users to do their jobs safely and efficiently. Salesforce limits exposure of data to the users that act on it. Implement security controls that you think are appropriate for the sensitivity of your data. We'll work together to protect your data from unauthorized access from outside your company and from inappropriate usage by your users.

• Phishing and Malware
  Protect your Salesforce data from phishing and malware attacks by understanding the risks, following security best practices, and staying informed about the latest threats.
• Security Infrastructure
  Salesforce utilizes some of the most advanced technology for Internet security available today. When you access the application using a Salesforce-supported browser, Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology protects your information using both server authentication and Classic Encryption, ensuring that your data is safe, secure, and available only to registered users in your organization.
• Security Health Check
  As an admin, you can use Health Check to identify and fix potential vulnerabilities in your security settings, all from a single page. A summary score shows how your org measures against a security baseline like the Salesforce Baseline Standard. You can upload up to five custom baselines to use instead of the Salesforce Baseline Standard.
• Auditing
  Auditing provides information about use of the system, which can be critical in diagnosing potential or real security issues. Salesforce auditing features don't secure your organization by themselves. Have someone in your organization perform regular audits to detect potential abuse.
