Note

Streaming new events to Data 360 can consume Data 360 streaming and storage credits. To understand how Data 360 credits are consumed, refer to [Data 360 Billable Usage Types](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_data_usage_types.htm&language=en_US)

To gain actionable insights into user behavior, ensure security compliance, and detect potential threats, organizations need quick visibility into their Salesforce event data. While Salesforce Event Monitoring generates a wealth of event data, many businesses struggle to integrate this information with advanced analytics platforms to fully use it for comprehensive insights.

Salesforce’s Event Monitoring improves data security by enabling organizations to analyze key events such as logins, logouts, API calls, and report exports, and so on. These insights help identify suspicious behavior and security threats, empowering teams to act swiftly to reduce breaches and unauthorized access.

However, customers are looking for advanced analytics to interpret fragmented user patterns and process event data effectively. By combining Event Monitoring with Data 360, powerful tools like Calculated Insights, Dashboards, Reports, and so on, organizations can gain deeper insights, act on risks faster, and achieve enhanced security and compliance

## Example Use Cases

## Improved Security

Act on security risks in real time with Data 360 insights and flows, reducing data breaches and unauthorized access.

![Example](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-setup-264-0-0-production-enus/6f21df35-9ea0-4f53-ac94-45c3b5dfd5bc/images/icon_example.png)

Example

Stream login events from CRM orgs into Data 360. Use Data 360 tools like Insights, Reports and Dashboards to identify any unusual patterns in login attempts

## Enhanced Compliance

Retain event detail for long-term to help meet regulatory requirements, thus reducing the risk of fines or legal issues.

Example

Retain report event data for seven years for audit and compliance purposes. Delete stored events after ‌compliance has been met.
