Prevent Data Theft
Departing employees may find your proprietary information very valuable, particularly if they’re moving to — or starting — a competitive organization.
Salesforce has evolved from a CRM to a core business application that might hold sensitive customer and prospect data, trade secrets, and more. Many employees begin exfiltrating data 90 days before they leave, and proactive monitoring can help alert you to unusual activity by your Salesforce users.
Whether employees are suddenly exporting a higher-than-normal number of records or accessing documents that are not essential to their business function, FairWarning for Salesforce reads your Shield audit logs and delivers useful insights so you can take action before it’s too late.
Detect and Remediate Insider Threats
Monitor and detect careless or malicious users who are misusing your sensitive information.
User behavior analytics proactively track and analyze user behaviors to spot anomalies and predict future behaviors across multiple orgs.
FairWarning for Salesforce also integrates with multiple apps, giving you visibility across your entire cloud application environment. View each user’s permissions and risk levels, and predict and prevent future behaviors that could have dire consequences for your operations and reputation.
