ABSTRACT

The Security Specialist Superbadge is an all-inclusive program that equips


Salesforce administrators with the necessary skills to protect their
organizations from ever-changing cyber threats. This comprehensive
superbadge delves into Identity and Access Management ('AM), placing
emphasis on user provisioning, authentication options, authorization models,
and access control methods. The program also focuses on data security,
covering topics like encryption, data loss prevention, and data masking
techniques to safeguard sensitive information. In addition, it delves into
threat detection and prevention tactics, including security monitoring,
vulnerability assessments, and intrusion detection systems.

The User Authentication Specialist Superbadge is an immersion into the essential


significance of user authentication within Salesforce's security measures. It delves
into the nuances of username and password authentication, such as password
complexity requirements and secure reset procedures. Additionally, the integration
of Single Sign-On (SSO) is explored, enabling users to access Salesforce using
credentials from other trusted systems. A further layer of security is also covered
through Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and administrators are guided on how
to seamlessly integrate external Identity Providers (IdPs) for authentication.

Keywords:

• Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Data Security

Module 1 INTRODUCTION
l.lntroduction to Salesforce
Salesforce CRM provides a complete solution for that includes
featurerich solutions for marketing, sales, services, partner management
and community management .CRM is originally software for managing
customer interaction, such as scheduling tasks, emailing, texting, and
many more.
Salesforce does not offer a product or software called "Salesforce PPT."
Salesforce is primarily known for its customer relationship management (CRM)
platform and related cloud-based products for sales, service, marketing, and other
business functions. Talking about HR systems, every company across the globe has
an HR team. Each HR team would require an HR application to store employee
records. Almost all specifications for such an application would be common for all
companies. So, as a developer, it would be very easy to create a salesforce
application for such specifications, post it onto the cloud, and provide it as a service
to multiple clients at the same time. Maintenance of the same can be done
altogether too. So basically, the problem of scalability gets eliminated.

Customize the salesforce Platform
The Salesforce platform is used to develop custom objects and functionality specific to
your business. We can do most of this development without ever writing a line of code.

Developing without code is known as no-code (or declarative) development. With no- code
development, we use forms and drag-and-drop tools to perform powerful customization tasks.
The platform also offers programmatic development, which uses things like Lightning
components. But if you're not a programmer, you can still build some amazing things on the
platform. Let's see how to create a salesforce platform

1.2 DATA SECURITY


Data security is a critical aspect of information technology and business operations,
involving the protection of sensitive data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and
destruction. Robust data security measures are essential to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity,
and availability of data.

5
Authentication: Ensures that users and entities are who they claim to be before granting
access. Common methods include passwords, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and
biometrics.
Authorization: Controls access rights and permissions based on user roles, ensuring that
individuals can only access the data and resources necessary for their responsibilities. Data
Encryption: Converts sensitive information into unreadable code, which can only be
decrypted by authorized parties with the appropriate keys. This is crucial for protecting data
during transmission and storage.

Control Access to the Org


When you ensure that only employees who meet certain criteria can log in to Salesforce,
you're protecting your data at the broadest level. You do this by managing authorized users, setting
password policies, and limiting when and where users can log in.

Create a User
You can create users—even multiple users—in just a few clicks. It's as simple as entering
a username, alias, and email, and selecting a role, license, and profile. Many more options are
available, of course, but that's all you need to get started.

Salesforce auto-generates a password and notifies new users immediately. Users can
change or add to their own personal information after they log in.
STEPS:

From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Users, and then select Users.
Click New User. Or you can click Add Multiple Users to add up to ten users at a time.
Enter the user's name, email address, and a unique username in the form of an email address.
By default, the username is the same as the email address.
Select the user license this user will have. The license determines which profiles are
available for each user.
Select a profile, which specifies the user's minimum permissions and access settings. Select
the option to generate a new password and notify the user, then save.

Deactivate a User

6
You can't delete a user, but you can deactivate an account so a user can't log in. Deactivated
users lose access to all records. (That includes records that are shared with them individually and
records shared with them as team members.) However, you can still transfer this data to other
users and view the names on the Users page.

From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Users, and then select Users Click
Edit next to the name of the user you want to deactivate.
Clear the Active checkbox and click Save. If you can't immediately deactivate an account
(for example, when the user is selected in a custom hierarchy field), you can freeze their
account. That prevents the user from logging in to your organization while you're working
on deactivating them.

On the Users page in Setup, click the username of the user whose account you want to
freeze.
Click Freeze.
Restrict Login Access by Time

For each profile, you can specify the hours when users can log in. For example, if you decide your
call center employees really only need to look at customer data while they're taking phone calls
nine to five, you can make it so they can't log in during evenings and weekends.

From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Profiles, and then select Profiles.
Click the profile you want to change.
Under Login Hours, click Edit.
Set the days and hours when users with this profile can log in to the organization.
To allow users to log in at any time, click Clear all times.
To prohibit users from using the system on a specific day, set the start and end times to the
same value

1.3 LIGHTNING APP BUILDER
Lightning App Builder is a visual development tool provided by Salesforce that allows
users to design and customize the user interface of their Salesforce applications without the need
for extensive coding. It is part of the Lightning Experience, Salesforce's modern and user-friendly
interface.

Lightning App Builder lets developers and business users build beautiful custom user
interfaces that are designed to work perfectly on your desktop and mobile devices, all without
writing a single line of code. In this Quick Start, you'll build a geolocation app for sales reps in
the field using the Lightning App Builder. You'll use a pre-built Lightning Component and the
drag-and-drop interface of Lightning App Builder to create this app.

Create Your First Page

A Lightning Page is a container for Lightning Components. Create your first page and add a
component to it.
If you haven't already, log in to Trailhead, then launch your Trailhead Playground by clicking
Launch at the bottom of this page. This opens your Trailhead Playground in a new tab.

If you're not already on the Setup home page, click Gear icon to access Setup in Lightning
Experience. and select Setup to launch Setup in a new tab.
Enter Lightning App Builder in Quick Find and select Lightning App Builder.

Under Lightning Pages, click New.


Select App Page then click Next.

In the Label field, type Field Sales App and click Next.
In Create a New Lightning Page, select Two Regions.
Click Done.
For your first component, drag a List View component onto the page.

l . In the Desktop drop-down list, click Tablet - Portrait. The canvas's preview layout changes
from the standard single column to two columns.
From the Standard Components menu on the left, drag the List View to the left column.
Set the properties of this component using the Properties list in the right sidebar.

8
In the Object drop-down list, select Account.
In the Filter drop-down list, select My Accounts.
In the Number of Records to Display field, enter 7.
Click Save and Not yet option to activate the Page

1.4 Salesforce Marketing Cloud
Marketing Cloud is used by almost all companies for marketing purposes. In this Sales
Market Cloud, you can send customized mass mailers to thousands of potential customers
at just a single click. You can also target some content on social media using
advertisements. This can be used to boost your sales numbers.

There are many ways how an optimal marketing strategy should be. But from those
companies that failed badly in marketing, one thing is clear. Deluging mistargeted ads to
customers is clearly not the way to go. If you're an avid online user, you might have
encountered such ads in your mailbox.

If you are into marketing, with Salesforce Marketing Cloud, you can make your marketing
team smarter and be more predictive about each customer. You'll get an intelligent
platform integrating marketing, sales, service, and commerce that will make for a
collaborative CRM, equipped with tools and data to make recommendations based on
past purchases.

step-by-step tutorials that explain the process of creating applications and deploying
them.
The trailhead modules are designed so that there is a lab after each video session; this way,
when I read about a new topic, I can implement it in real time via virtual labs. This
resulted in an easy-to-understand salesforce method. There are many badges and points
for each activity and milestone to make it even more tough and enjoyable.
Each medal may be obtained by completing a specific challenge in each module. This
pushed me to collect additional badges and points, which I may use to demonstrate
recruiters my talents through digital badges.

The Admin Super Set is a collection of three superbadges offered by Salesforce that validate your expertise in
securing Salesforce data and applications. This superset is designed for Salesforce administrators, developers,
and security professionals who want to demonstrate their proficiency in protecting Salesforce environments from
unauthorized access and other threats.

To earn the Admin Super Set, you must complete the following three superbadges:

Salesforce Security Specialist Superbadge

This superbadge covers the fundamentals of Salesforce security, including Salesforce security concepts, user
permissions and access, data protection, login security, and Apex security.

Salesforce Identity and Access Management Superbadge

This superbadge delves deeper into identity and access management (IAM) concepts, such as user authentication,
single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and role-based access control (RBAC).

Salesforce Data Protection Specialist Superbadge

This superbadge focuses on data protection strategies, including encryption, data masking, data classification, and
data loss prevention (DLP).

Finally, through creating services and apps during my internship, I obtained both theoretical and practical expertise.
I also like to thank Smart Internz for the simple onboarding and virtual learning process. Throughout the
internship, Smart Internz has taken a personal interest in my learning process. Personal mentors have advised and
updated me on each module I finished.

CONCLUSION
By successfully completing the three superbadge units, aspiring security professionals gain in-
depth knowledge of user authentication mechanisms, security governance principles, and user access
management strategies. This comprehensive understanding equips them to tackle the complexities of
Salesforce security and make informed decisions to protect organizational data. The Security
Specialist Superbadge delves into the intricacies of user authentication, emphasizing the importance
of verifying user identities before granting access to sensitive data. Through hands-on exercises,
individuals explore various authentication methods, including username and password combinations,
single sign-on (SSO) integration, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) implementation.

The superbadge underscores the significance of security governance, establishing a framework for
safeguarding Salesforce organizations. Participants gain insights into developing and implementing
security policies, enforcing access controls, and implementing data encryption measures. They also
learn to establish a comprehensive monitoring plan to proactively identify and address potential
security threats.The Security Specialist Superbadge equips individuals with the skills to effectively
manage user access within Salesforce environments. They learn to create new users, assign roles and
permissions, and maintain user profi i les, ensuring that access aligns with individual responsibilities.
Additionally, they master the art of provisioning and de-provisioning user access, ensuring that access
privileges remain relevant and aligned with current needs.

Earning the Security Specialist Superbadge is not merely an academic pursuit; it is a transformative
journey that elevates individuals to the forefront of Salesforce security expertise. By mastering the
superbadge's concepts, individuals demonstrate their commitment to data security, making them
highly sought-after professionals in today's demanding job market. The Security Specialist
Superbadges stands as a testament to an

individual's dedication to safeguarding Salesforce organizations. By earning this prestigious


credential, individuals not only enhance their career prospects but also make a contribution to the
overall security posture of their organizations. As the world increasingly relies on Salesforce for data
management and business operations, the demand for security- focused professionals will continue
to rise. The Security Specialist Superbadge empowers individuals to rise to this challenge, ensuring
that
Salesforce remains a trusted platform for organizations worldwide

When I started working on Security Governance Super badge, they asked me to complete the prerequisites like
the Authentication Governance and Access Governance Units. In that modules I have learned how to protect
my data by performing Axiom SSO tests which would send a request to the salesforce to protect the data.

Another aspect I would like to mention is regarding the Lightning Experience Reports and Dashboards Specialist

1
Super Badge. Here I was asked to construct a new trailhead playground and was asked to install a package
(04tlHOOOOOl 8kEl) named Solar Bots App Page. Then they asked us to create six public teams namely
Executive Team, Report and Dashboard Administrators, Research and Development Team, Sales, Leadership
Team, Sales Team, Support Team and we should verify the Solar bot status.

Finally, In the Admin Super Set, an assessment was conducted to verify the progress of the previous super badges.
In the Administrator Journey of Salesforce, I learned many things regarding the creation of lightning pages,
cloud basics, data modelling, how to keep data secure and manage the data. I would like to thank Salesforce
and Smart Internz for giving me this opportunity to work with them and help me upgrade my skills which
would be useful for my career.
