HEROKU SECRETS MANAGEMENT
With all the complexity of today's connected digital world, the need to protect valuable data assets has never been more paramount. Unfortunately, due to the varying technology and platforms used in business, it can be challenging to secure your data when utilizing applications that are hosted on different cloud infrastructures. This is especially true for Salesforce, as data is often spread across different Salesforce services, Salesforce AppExchange isntallations, third-party applications, and custom code. Fortunately, Heroku Secrets Management can help you maintain data governance and protect your Salesforce data. By introducing an extra layer of security to your organization's data, Heroku Secrets Management helps ensure an enterprise is able to restrict the access and use of sensitive information. Additionally, Heroku Secrets Management increases accountability and compliance, reducing the risk of accidental data leakage or malicious data theft. For enterprise Salesforce customers, Heroku Secrets Management helps protect data by integrating services with applications hosted on different cloud infrastructures. Heroku Secrets Management does this by limiting access to shared secrets and private keys across different applications through an encrypted container. These sources include credentials for a database, SSH keys, and other trusted services. However, because Heroku Secrets Management is not natively integrated into Salesforce, users must configure Salesforce to integration with Heroku, or use an application that is specifically designed to bridge the gap between Heroku and Salesforce. Heroku Secrets Management can also help organizations mitigate risk associated with Salesforce release management, Salesforce data backup and recovery, and Salesforce security solutions. Additionally, Heroku Secrets Management bolsters applications that use automated workflows, APIs, and other flexible configurations. By formalizing access to secrets like passwords, OAuth tokens, and API keys, applications running on Heroku are able to maintain a high security standard from development through production. Finally, Heroku Secrets Management mitigates the need to save secrets in local files, environment variables, and other sources that can often be vulnerable to attacks. This is critical since any compromise of an application's security can result in serious damage to an organization’s reputation and bottom line. As a result, Heroku Secrets Management is a valuable tool to help businesses secure their Salesforce data and other application services. The security of sensitive information is too important to ignore, and Heroku Secrets Management helps ensure Salesforce data is kept secure. By limiting access to your application services, Heroku Secrets Management helps mitigate risks associated with Salesforce release management, Salesforce data backup and recovery, and Salesforce security solutions. With Heroku Secrets Management, your organization can securely deliver any application, while protecting your business’ most valuable asset: your data.
