“There’s no finish line when it comes to security and social engineering,” Benioff said during a press conference at Salesforce’s Dreamforce conference in San Francisco, CNBC reported.
“There’s things that we’re going to need to do to help our customers prevent these kinds of issues.”
In June, Salesforce’s Heroku unit disclosed that a hacker had obtained account passwords and some source code.
“We’ve been through almost every possible situation,” Benioff said. “There’s a lot for us to do in perpetuity, and we’re going to just keep working on it.”
Most of the company’s engineering team works on security and trust, Salesforce’s other co-CEO Bret Taylor said.
