Summary
In this chapter, we have seen how there are many ways to compromise your security by following seemingly innocuous courses of action or failing to realize subtle distinctions in responsibilities and approaches.
These included both general security anti-patterns that affect many different platforms, such as Shared Belongs to Salesforce and Compliant Is Secure, and unique Salesforce anti-patterns such as Declarative Is Always Safe and Spaghetti Sharing Model. That underscores the particular complexity of the security domain.
When it comes to security, you have to attend both to high-level issues of organizational culture and awareness of issues, and to the minutiae of how mechanisms are designed specifically for the technology you are using. That is what makes it both frustrating and highly interesting at the same time.
Having covered the security domain, we will move on to have a look at data next.
