CISOS GUIDE


Entrepreneurs are continually faced with the ever changing landscape of technology and the importance of cloud security, making a CISO's guide particularly useful. As Salesforce has quickly become a leading cloud-based platform for enterprises, it is increasingly important to adopt a Security Operations (SecOps) strategy for operating, protecting, and monitoring all cloud environment access, data, and assets.

Salesforce, and more broadly cloud service providers, offer robust business solutions that enable enterprises to create new business value, while ensuring the security of their systems. Whether you are an enterprise or a Salesforce staff member looking for best practices in Salesforce release management, Salesforce data backup and recovery, and Salesforce security, SecOps requires a disciplined approach to better protect cloud-based resources and assets.

At the core of this framework is the CISO’s guide, a comprehensive guide of best practices to maximizing cloud security and protecting data within an organization. As the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for an enterprise, this guide is designed to help organizations manage the internal tactics of their secure infrastructure from the top down.

Developed with the enterprise client in mind, the CISO’s guide not only provides vital self-assessment tools, but also provides solid steps in the area of cloud security, ranging from writing security architecture and policy to multiple secure releases and training. The guide constantly references Security by Design, which is recommended best practice in cloud security.

The Guide covers a range of security processes, approaches, and operations framed around Salesforce security practices, IT governance, risk management, and incident response plans.

It also provides a range of security products and solutions for an organization to consider based on the level of complexity of its cloud security needs. The Guide is a great resource for senior security professionals, with the high-level expertise of a PhD in computer science and the ability to develop knowledge in the appropriate best practices.

When successfully implemented, the CISO’s Guide can help with Salesforce security operations, cybersecurity strategies, cyber protection, and activities related to the cloud environment which are integral to the secure functioning of any cloud-based infrastructure. It offers a range of courses, frameworks, and tools to build the necessary skills and experience to drive secOps success. It also provides a baseline of knowledge to help define and identify security across Salesforce environments.

At the end of the day, businesses must consider the security of their data and the value of their assets by having a CISO’s guide to refer to when selecting cloud-based Salesforce solutions and managing their security profile. With the rapid expansion of cloud-based technology, an understanding of security best practices, such as those outlined in the CISO’s guide, remains a must for an organization to have a successful cloud security structure.
