Shield product enhancements make it easier for you to extend security policies to more of your data. Database Encryption is generally available in all regions. Data Detect now scans 100 objects and unlimited fields and Field Audit Trail storage limit increases from 60 to 200. Real-Time Event storage is turned on by default. The Shield app now has setup assistants and simpler access requirements.
- Get Shield Setup Assistants and Usage Insights
The Shield app now includes Setup Assistants for Data Detect, Field Audit Trail, Event Monitoring, and Platform Encryption. Maximize your Shield implementation by staying up to date on key setup tasks, ranging from user access to feature activation. Monitor and maintain your setup with at-a-glance insights, including usage metrics, data trends, and job statuses. - Simplify How Users Access the Shield App
If your users have the required permissions to access either Data Detect, Event Monitoring, or Platform Encryption, then they can view the Shield app by default. Previously, the View Shield App Pages user permission was required to view the app. Now, that permission is required only for users who lack other Shield-related access privileges. - Event Monitoring
Strengthen your security posture with automatic data storage by default for Report, ListView, Login, LoginAs, and Logout events, ensuring critical audit data is available from day one. Additionally, the Operation field in ApiEvent now tracks delete activities, providing deeper insight into critical data changes. - Data Detect
Data Detect scan scope and scale increase to handle 100 objects with unlimited fields. You can now scan for custom keywords alongside structured sensitive data to improve regulatory compliance and flag sensitive internal terminology. With the availability of a Standalone License for Data Detect, you can understand your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) exposure. Or, run a scan without needing to purchase the full Shield bundle. - Field Audit Trail
Field History Explorer enables users to download metadata and revert changes to tracked fields. The increased limit of 200 tracked fields per object further supports broader auditing needs and stricter compliance standards. - Shield Platform Encryption
Reduce friction in the encryption process with Database Encryption, now generally available in all regions. Bring Your Own Key for Data 360 opens more root key management options.
