Lessons from the Salesforce breach

The chilling reality of a Salesforce.com data breach is a jarring wake-up call, not just for its customers, but for the entire cloud computing industry. In recent months, a wave of cyberattacks has targeted cloud-based platforms that house and process massive amounts of personal and corporate data. The latest extortion attempt is from Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters, a group that claims to hold stolen data from 39 companies, with Salesforce and its integrations at the center of the breach. This is not the first major breach the industry has faced, but it is a particularly alarming escalation in the ongoing war between hackers and enterprises, given the significant role that SaaS providers like Salesforce play in modern business.
