Recent headlines have highlighted “Salesforce breaches,” but the platform itself has not been compromised. Instead, attackers are targeting third party integrations that connect to organizations’ Salesforce environments through OAuth tokens. Once a vendor is breached, attackers can use stolen tokens to access Salesforce data across many customers. Incidents involving companies like SalesLoft, Drift, and Gainsight show how widespread this problem is becoming.
While Salesforce Shield offers useful capabilities such as event monitoring, encryption, and field audit trails, it does not prevent these third party driven intrusions. Shield improves logging speed and provides some built in detections, but it does not deliver deep, comprehensive threat detection.
Mitiga fills that gap. The platform ingests Salesforce logs with or without Shield, applies advanced detection methods, and provides more than 120 purpose built Salesforce threat detections. Mitiga also simplifies investigations, handling Salesforce’s complex logging formats and enabling quick analysis when suspicious activity occurs. This protection extends beyond Salesforce to other SaaS apps, identity providers, and cloud environments.
Attacks targeting OAuth integrations are expected to grow over the next year or two, and similar campaigns are already appearing against platforms like Workday. Mitiga gives organizations the visibility and detection depth they need to stay ahead of these evolving threats.
