In this week’s episode of the Talent Hub Talk podcast, we’re joined by Alice Jessop, a Technical Program Manager and the author of Salesforce Security, An Admins Guide.
In the conversation we cover Alice’s early career, how she found her way into Salesforce, career pivots she made to move out of Salesforce, what brought her back and how she came to be a Salesforce security specialist. We then look at some practical tips for existing and new Salesforce Orgs, explore the Principle of Least Privilege, discuss how AI changes things and also cover Alice’s book.
