Salesforce holds some of the most business-critical data in the enterprise, yet many organizations are still flying blind when it comes to user activity, privileged misuse, and fast-moving threats.

In this episode of Guardians of Salesforce, host Raj Patel sits down with Brian Olearczyk, founder of Spotlight Monitor and long-time industry leader helping companies reduce Salesforce risk and minimize data leakage. With a background spanning startups through IPO-stage SaaS companies, Brian brings a unique perspective on how trust, visibility, and governance can both protect sensitive data and accelerate growth.

Raj and Brian explore why visibility—not just configuration—matters most in 2025, covering:

• The invisible risk surface in Salesforce and how attackers are exploiting it
• Why over-permissioned accounts and weak monitoring fuel today’s breaches
• How AI agents and connected apps are reshaping the threat landscape
• Practical steps every Salesforce owner should take this week

In this episode, we dive into one of the most high-stakes challenges in the age of AI: protecting sensitive data in healthcare and life sciences.

AI is transforming everything from patient engagement to drug discovery, and Salesforce has become the backbone of that innovation. But with greater reliance comes greater risk. Breaches in this sector don’t just compromise data—they can endanger lives and reputations.

While Salesforce delivers world-class native security, too many organizations overlook the shared responsibility model, leaving critical gaps exposed.

To unpack what it takes to stay secure in this new AI-powered reality, we’re joined by Doug Cox, a seasoned Salesforce professional with deep expertise in healthcare and life sciences.
