- How Does Code Quality Affect Salesforce Data
Security?
2Here are 7 considerations for Salesforce data
security and the quality of your code
- Coding Errors Enable Data Loss/Corruption
- Bugs Create Vulnerabilities
- Improper Code Can Create Unwanted Changes
- Metadata Impacts Functionality and Security
- Finding Coding Errors Early Reduces Overhead
Costs - Main Types of Security Liabilities from Bad Code
- SANS, CWE and OWASP Standards
31. Coding Errors Enable Data Loss/Corruption
- The structure of your update or application will
impact the way in which data is handled within
it. And if your application has coding errors,
there is a chance the input data will be
miscataloged, forwarded to the wrong location, or
simply lost.
2. Bugs Create Vulnerabilities
- Any errors or bugs that exist within your system
are potential entry points for cybercriminals.
These errors can also potentially create a
scenario where a team member unknowingly exposes
sensitive information.
43. Improper Code Can Create Unwanted Changes
- Proper testing is an essential aspect of
every Salesforce DevOps project. Your team needs
to be able to predict how any new lines of code
will interact with each other, as well as how
theyll interact with the rest of your system
when the new update goes live.
4. Metadata Impacts Functionality and Security
Any discussion of Salesforce data security also
needs to address metadata. The metadata within
your system has a huge impact on the
functionality of your related fields, for
instance, and can have a negative effect if it
becomes compromised.
55. Finding Coding Errors Early Reduces Overhead
Costs
- Every business consideration is going to
eventually discuss the return on investment. Most
transactions will be framed on what you risk and
what you can gain. Maintaining high code quality
has a direct impact on both your Salesforce data
security efforts as well as your ROI.
6. Main Types of Security Liabilities from Bad
Code
Bad code impacts Salesforce data security in a
variety of ways. The best way to guard against
these negative results is to be aware of them in
the first place.
67. SANS, CWE and OWASP Standards
- The quality of your code can be measured by many
different standards. Effectiveness and
functionality of the eventual product are common
ways to judge the success of an update or
application, but they are not the only ways.
There are a few notable institutions that purport
standards to which your code can be compared. - SANS
- SANS Technology Institute began in 1989 with the
goal of providing insights relating to
informational security. Today, they are a
respected resource for cybersecurity education.
They provide training and certification for
individuals to learn more about the tools,
research, and skills that create a more secure
technological infrastructure.
