Salesforce No. 1 in the IDC report The international analytics company IDC (International Data Corporation) once again named Salesforce the best CRM provider in its semi-annual software report. This is the eleventh time in a row that Salesforce has won this distinction. Salesforce achieved a CRM market share of 21.7% in 2023 (in previous years it was: 19% share in 2020, 23.9% in 2021, 23.8% in 2022). The company is a leader in North America, Latin America, Western Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Salesforce also won first place in the sales, customer service and marketing categories. 2. Beyond, Inc. Invests in Salesforce Beyond, Inc., owner of the Bed Bath & Beyond, Overstock and Zulily brands, announced an expansion of its investment in Salesforce with the goal of increasing customer loyalty and delivering a more personalized shopping experience. This strategic decision aims to integrate customer data from various brands and implement personalized customer paths, which is expected to contribute to the growth of an active customer base. What technologies does the investment involve? Leverage of Salesforce Data Cloud: With this technology, Beyond, Inc. plans to integrate customer data from various brands such as Bed Bath & Beyond, Overstock and Zulily. Data integration will allow for a more complete picture of the customer, which will enable offers and communications to be better tailored to their needs. Use of Salesforce Marketing Cloud: This platform will be used to implement personalized customer journeys, which means that each customer interaction with the brand will be more tailored to their individual preferences and purchasing behavior. Personalization of customer paths aims to increase customer engagement and satisfaction, which in turn translates into their loyalty and return to the brand. Marcus Lemonis, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Beyond, Inc., emphasized that this investment is crucial to increasing the number of active customers. He underlined that it is important to invest in users who are willing to buy and return, which will contribute to the growth of the active customer base. 3. New Salesforce White Paper: Threats of AI Language Models Salesforce has published a detailed white paper discussing the emerging threats of Large Language Models (LLM) and defensive strategies for organizations. Key risks identified in the document include: “Injecting” malicious prompts: Malicious actors can manipulate LLM models by inserting malicious commands, causing the model to perform unintended actions. Salesforce recommends using machine learning-based defense strategies and heuristic methods such as discard filtering to mitigate these risks. Infecting training data: Attackers can corrupt training data, compromising the security and effectiveness of the model. Organizations should verify the integrity of this data to prevent such problems. Supply chain vulnerabilities: Security risks can arise throughout the application lifecycle, including libraries and services provided by third parties. It is important that all components meet safety standards and undergo internal inspections. Model Theft: Protecting your LLM models from unauthorized access is crucial. Salesforce recommends using authenticated access, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and strong audit trails to secure models. Secure training environments: Training environments should be as secure as data environments to prevent security breaches during the development of AI models. Salesforce emphasizes the importance of staying ahead of potential security threats as generative AI continues to evolve. For more detailed information, you can check out the full document on the Salesforce website. 4.
