Salesforce is placing significant emphasis on data security as it rolls out its AI agent implementations. According to recent research, a strong data foundation and robust governance capabilities are critical for businesses to securely implement agentic AI. While IT security leaders are largely optimistic about the potential benefits of AI agents, a majority acknowledge that there are significant readiness gaps in deploying the necessary security safeguards. This highlights the importance of prioritizing security measures as AI adoption accelerates across various industries.
As AI becomes more prevalent and cyber threats continue to evolve, a considerable number of IT security leaders recognize the need to transform their security practices. In fact, nearly 8 in 10 acknowledge that their security protocols require upgrades to address the challenges posed by AI. This transformation includes building AI fluency within organizations, redesigning workflows to incorporate AI agents effectively, and ensuring adequate human supervision to mitigate risks and maintain ethical standards. It's also worth noting that Salesforce's own data indicates unanimous optimism among IT leaders regarding the potential of AI agents.
Salesforce is actively developing and acquiring technologies to enhance its Agentforce platform and empower developers to build secure and effective AI agents. The acquisition of Convergence, an AI automation startup, will integrate advanced AI agent design and automation capabilities into Agentforce. Furthermore, the launch of the Salesforce Developer Edition, which includes access to Agentforce and Data Cloud, provides developers with the tools to create, customize, and deploy autonomous AI agents with appropriate guardrails. By emphasizing secure data handling and governance, Salesforce aims to enable businesses to leverage the benefits of AI agents while minimizing potential security risks.
