⛰️ 🔐 New Hands-on Workshop for Premier & Signature Admins: Secure the Org: Find and Fix Vulnerabilities (ADX012)

 Misconfigured security settings are one of the leading causes of data breaches. In this 90-minute instructor-led workshop, you'll step into the role of an internal security auditor to identify and fix real Salesforce vulnerabilities across the most common misconfiguration areas. 

This workshop was adapted from a fan-favorite capture-the-flag game that has been a hit at live Salesforce events — now available virtually so more admins can play! This practical workshop is for:

• Newer admins — you'll find the challenges approachable and manageable. The hands-on format makes security feel less daunting and more actionable
• Seasoned practitioners — you'll likely discover security settings you haven't previously been aware of
• All learners — challenges are independent of each other, so you can move at your own pace, skip ahead, and circle back with no pressure

Sessions are live and available!

• Fri Jul 31 — 9:00am ET [AMER]
• Mon Aug 3 — 3:30pm ET [AMER]
• Tue Aug 11 — 10:00am CET [EMEA]
• Check the session listings for more workshops across regions
