10 Claude Use Cases for Admins, Red Team Agent: Native Pen Testing Coming

From the curator, Grzegorz Skaruz: It's already Tuesday evening here in Poland, but I made it in time. Another week, another pile of Salesforce news to sort through. Read the whole note

It's already Tuesday evening here in Poland, but I made it in time. Another week, another pile of Salesforce news to sort through. This edition leans heavy on AI, no surprise there. Claude keeps popping up everywhere, including some genuinely useful ways admins can start using it daily (with the usual caveat: don't blindly trust what it spits out). Then there's the native Red Team Agent Salesforce announced at Dreamforce, which could finally make penetration testing less of a luxury for orgs that never had the budget for it. Winter '27 is live too, and it's not one flashy headline feature this time but a bunch of smaller wins across data, security, and Flow Builder worth sharing with your team. And if you're using MCP or building AI agents, you'll want to know Salesforce is about to start charging for that access through Flex Credits. Worth understanding before November. Dig in below.

Salesforce's Agentforce, launched in 2024, is a good example - confusing pricing, constant rebrands, and a flood of new features have left many more baffled than excited. It's not just Salesforce's problem either; every AI vendor is racing to cash in on the hype. The real issue? Adoption is lagging because people simply don't know where to begin, even as companies push full speed ahead toward the "finish line."

    Salesforce Red Team Agent: Native Penetration Testing Is Coming

    Most Salesforce admins never get their org penetration-tested - it's pricey and usually needs outside help since there's no built-in way to do it. That's why Pete Thurston's Dreamforce announcement caught attention: Salesforce is building an AI agent for Security Center that actually tries to break into your org - native red teaming. This piece breaks down what red teaming means, why it matters, what got announced, and what's still missing from the picture.
