Low-Code Development Platforms Resources

App Cloud is built on a multitenant infrastructure, which means that your apps are run on a shared data center, lowering costs and reducing the need to devote resources (time, money, and people) to maintenance. The robust and flexible security architecture of the Platform is trusted by companies around the world, including those in the most heavily regulated industries—from financial services to healthcare to government—and it provides the highest level of security and control over everything from user and client authentication through administrative permissions to the data access and sharing model, including: Org Security: Salesforce protects your organization's data from all other customer organizations by using a unique identifier that restricts access at every level to your data from anyone outside of your company—including us. User Security: User authentication (both delegated and SAML) combined with network-level security by IP address, session restrictions, and audit trails provide control and visibility into what users are doing in the system and their field history. Programmatic Security: Configurable, authenticated sessions secure access to logic, data, and metadata. Salesforce even offers a source code scanner that produces a report analyzing the security of your code. Trust and Visibility: Trust starts with transparency. Salesforce displays real time information on system performance and security, and offers tips on best security practices for your organization. Learn more at: trust.salesforce.com.

No. There’s no infrastructure or software to buy, set up, or manage. Any company of any size with virtually any budget can choose the package with the tools it needs to start building custom cloud applications that immediately help accelerate every area of the business.

As companies move more sensitive data to the cloud, they may want additional mechanisms to protect that data. All customer data is encrypted in transit via https, using Transport Layer Security. For customers who want to encrypt data at rest, Salesforce offers customers the ability to seamlessly encrypt sensitive data at rest with just a few clicks. There is no additional hardware or software to manage and customers can encrypt PHI, PII, trade secrets, or other data on a field-by-field basis using point-and-click tools in an afternoon. As Platform Encryption is a native encryption at rest solution in Salesforce, customers can continue to use important application functionality like search, workflow, and validation rules. Customers maintain full control over the keys and key lifecycle, ensuring the privacy and confidentiality of that data to meet both external and internal data compliance needs. Because Platform Encryption is built natively in Salesforce, data can be encrypted throughout the Salesforce ecosystem, including in partner apps built by ISVs on the Salesforce AppExchange.
