6 Tips to Optimize Your Salesforce Data Recovery Plan
6 Tips for Balancing Quality and Speed with Salesforce Automation
In 2024, 30.2% of businesses experienced data loss, up from 17.2% in 2023. A well-planned Salesforce data recovery plan gives organizations the tools and guidance they need to quickly return to operations after a data outage and avoid costly downtime.
There are far too many potential sources of data loss to completely guard against all of them. Those who fail to plan for worst-case scenarios are setting themselves up for loss of consumer trust, compliance failures, and massive amounts of lost money.
AI has quietly rewritten the rules of Salesforce development.
What once took days—scaffolding Apex classes, mapping flow logic, drafting test methods—can now happen in minutes. “Vibe coding” has made speed feel almost limitless. In one controlled study, developers using AI pair-programming tools completed tasks nearly 56% faster than those working without assistance. That kind of acceleration is hard to ignore.
But speed without discipline doesn’t just create technical debt; it creates operational risk.

How AutoRABIT + nCino Help Banks Drive Salesforce Digital Transformation
Why Salesforce Data Masking Is a Security Baseline for Banks
Banks looking to streamline processes and increase the value they offer their customers will see huge benefits from combining the power of AutoRABIT and nCino on Salesforce. Banking customers expect state-of-the-art software and mobile capabilities.
Any bank that doesn’t offer these capabilities will fall behind their competition. The financial services industry is among the most frequent targets for cybercriminals. Having a constantly updated data security approach is critical to properly protecting sensitive data.
Banks understand security as a system, not a feature. Controls are layered. Assumptions are tested. Risk is managed across people, processes, and technology. That discipline has long applied to core banking platforms, data warehouses, and identity systems.
Salesforce, however, often sits outside that legacy security mindset.
As financial institutions rely more heavily on Salesforce to orchestrate customer engagement, service workflows, and internal operations, the platform has quietly become a repository for regulated data. Personally identifiable information, financial context, and operational signals now move freely through Salesforce environments. Yet many banks still treat data protection inside Salesforce as a secondary concern.

Salesforce AppSec: A Comprehensive Guide to Key Application Security Acronyms
Why I Joined AutoRABIT
In the realm of application security, many industry experts often refer to acronyms and as a developer, decoding these acronyms is crucial, as they represent key facets of safeguarding your applications.
In this guide, we’ll unravel the top 7 application security acronyms, offering not just their definitions but also insights into how code scanning tools address potential vulnerabilities, along with a glimpse into real-world examples of potential hacks.
By Michael Hornsby, VP Fed/Field CIO, AutoRABIT
On November 10, 2025, I joined AutoRABIT to design, develop, and lead the public sector practice.
As you may know, AutoRABIT defined the DevSecOps approach for Salesforce more than 10 years ago. It’s a favorite for teams that need to manage complex Salesforce configurations at scale. The company has served regulated industries (e.g., banking, healthcare) for some time, but until now, has not invested in supporting organizations in the federal, state, and local sectors.

How Do Salesforce Deployment Tools Expedite Release Cycles?
Salesforce Apex Best Practices That Reduce Risk and Rework
Human error is continuously labeled as the leading cause of data loss. Salesforce deployment tools reduce the potential for human error by automating critical quality and security processes in the DevOps lifecycle.
A streamlined release cycle enables organizations to be more flexible and agile in their responses to software needs. Eliminating errors and automating time-consuming manual processes enable faster delivery of features and updates.
Enterprise Salesforce implementations depend on custom logic to run critical business processes. Apex is the language that makes that customization powerful, but with that power comes responsibility.
Poorly written Apex leads to rework, unpredictable performance, security vulnerabilities, and operational risk. Practical Salesforce Apex best practices improve productivity, strengthen security, and elevate quality across your Salesforce development lifecycle. The goal is not to prescribe tooling but to help you build systems and habits that scale securely and predictably.
Leveraging these seven Salesforce Apex best practices will streamline and optimize your DevOps approach:
