Beyond Patching: Building Organization Resilience after CRM-centric Breaches.
Presented by: Jon Anspaugh
Security isn’t just about closing vulnerabilities — recent breaches show that even with a secure platform, external tools, integrations, or human error still lead to failures. The wave of Salesforce-linked breaches in 2025 (via supply chain, OAuth token abuse, malicious app installs) highlights the need for holistic resilience: incident detection, response, and recovery.
This session focuses on building a resilient organization around CRM / cloud services (with Salesforce as the case study):
– Defining resilience: not just “prevention” but detection, rapid containment, mitigation, and learning.
– Incident response planning specific to CRM & cloud/SaaS breaches: what to prepare before the breach (logging, alerting, playbooks for token compromise, third-party vendor issues).
– Strategies for data backup, segmentation of sensitive data, minimal access for support case objects.
– Post-incident: forensic analysis, rotating credentials, external notifications, stakeholder communication.
– Stakeholder alignment: legal/compliance, engineering, security, operations, vendor management. Cultural aspects: security awareness,Simulation (e.g., red team, breach simulation) including attack vectors seen in Salesforce breaches.
Why this session matters: Many orgs underestimate the cost, damage, or time to recover still. With attackers innovating, it’s not a matter of if but when. By being resilient, organizations can reduce damage, cost, and reputational harm.

We’ll discuss the implications for compliance, automation, and reporting, and share real-world tips for maintaining data clarity and security in your org.
