If you use Salesforce, you might think you’re covered when it comes to virus detection and prevention

MYTH: All my employees’ and customers’ files uploaded to Salesforce are scanned for viruses.

MYTH: My employees have to connect to VPN to login to Salesforce and are protected by our virus scanning gateway.

REALITY: Salesforce does not directly scan files uploaded to the platform for malware, ransomware, or other threats. Instead, Salesforce relies on partners like EzProtect who specialize in virus scanning to help keep customer data safe.

REALITY: Most cloud systems, including Salesforce, only require that you are connected to VPN to authenticate. Once authenticated, employees are free to disconnect from the VPN, making them, and your client data, vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
