The recent Salesloft Drift breach is a reminder of just how interconnected and fragile today’s SaaS ecosystem has become.
Attackers replayed stolen OAuth tokens from Drift to access Salesforce and other connected platforms. The result: sensitive support and CRM data exfiltrated from some of the biggest names in cybersecurity: Cloudflare, Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks, Tanium, and SpyCloud.
Let’s be clear: this wasn’t a Salesforce bug. It was token abuse in a third-party integration, a supply-chain attack that bypassed traditional defenses.
What makes this especially concerning is the pattern:
- OAuth token theft and replay is low-noise, high-impact.
- Support/CRM data often contains logs, configurations, even credentials.
- One compromised integration can become a gateway into hundreds of environments.
Some vendors contained the damage quickly, but the wider lesson for CISOs is unavoidable: point-in-time pentests are blind to this kind of drift. By the time the next test rolls around, attackers may have already moved laterally through your SaaS stack.
This is why continuous, automated security testing and exposure validation must become the standard.
- It closes the gap between test cycles.
- It helps teams prioritize and remediate before attackers take advantage.
At Ridge Security, this principle drives the design of RidgeBot®, our AI-powered agent built to continuously probe, validate, and report on real exploitable risks, not once a year, but every day.
