            Secure Cross-Cloud Integrations with Private Connect

            When you integrate your Salesforce org with applications hosted on third-party cloud services, it’s essential to be able to send and receive HTTP/s traffic securely. With Private Connect, increase security on your Amazon Web Services (AWS) integrations by setting up a fully managed network connection between your Salesforce org and your AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Then, route your cross-cloud traffic through the connection instead of over the public internet to reduce exposure to outsider security threats.

            Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

            Private Connect is available in partnership with AWS via a feature called AWS PrivateLink. PrivateLink provides private connectivity between VPCs, AWS services, and on-premise applications on the Amazon Network. Connect your existing or new AWS VPC to a Salesforce-managed VPC with PrivateLink. Then, all the data traffic flowing between your VPC and your Salesforce org is automatically routed through the connection.

            Private Connect is also bi-directional: you can initiate both inbound and outbound traffic. With inbound connections, you can send traffic into Salesforce using the standard APIs. And with outbound connections, you can send traffic out of Salesforce via features like Apex callouts, External Services, and External Objects.

            Private Connect is available for purchase as an add-on license. Read the Considerations documentation to see if you can add Private Connect to your org.
