Security News > 2021 > August > Companies Still Exposing Sensitive Data via Known Salesforce Misconfiguration
Organizations have been warned that a misconfiguration in Salesforce Communities can lead to the exposure of sensitive information.
While the misconfiguration has been known since at least last year and Salesforce has taken steps to prevent incidents, data security company Varonis says it's still seeing many affected organizations.
Salesforce Communities enable Salesforce customers to connect and collaborate with employees, partners and customers.
Salesforce administrators have been advised to check settings related to guest permissions and guest user access to avoid such incidents.
Salesforce, which has more than 150,000 customers, including a majority of Fortune 100 companies, took steps last year to reduce the chances of organizations accidentally exposing data through these types of misconfigurations.
Varonis has advised Salesforce customers to review their current settings to ensure they don't expose sensitive information.
