Introducing WithSecure Cloud Protection for Salesforce Orion 2.4 which enhances your defenses against URL-based cyber threats within Salesforce. This release extends URL scanning to include files, highly requested custom objects and fields, and shortened URLs.
Read on to find out how we are relentlessly enhancing Salesforce security capabilities to protect some of the largest enterprises and critical public organizations in the world.
Detect malicious URLs in files
Files uploaded to your Salesforce platform present a cybersecurity risk, more than just them being malware. Malicious links can lurk in file attachments, waiting to be clicked.
Now, you can detect and block malicious URLs hidden inside files uploaded to your Salesforce platform. Detected threats will appear in the File Events report for admins. This functionality is automatically enabled as part of the File Protection feature when Adavanced Threat Analysis is turned on. You can find instructions on how to turn it on from our user guide.
Detect and block shortened URL threats
Shortened URLs are often a mask for risky content and can bypass traditional security controls. Our latest release now uncovers and blocks these threats, ensuring that every link is verified, whether shortened for convenience or masking something more sinister. This functionality is automatically enabled as part of the URL Protection feature.
URL Protection across custom objects and fields
URL Protection is now expanded from Salesforce’s standard objects and fields to also cover your customized ones. The update has been much requested among users, and is unique. You can now freely build your custom workflows – more securely than ever.
In the version 2.4, we are releasing a tech preview version of the feature that requires scripting to set-up. Please contact our Customer Success team who will assist you with the configuration. Direct UI configuration will be released a bit later.
