# Configuring Salesforce Exfiltration Policies

Exfiltration policies allow you to monitor download events across your Salesforce environment. Through real-time download monitoring, you can identify insider risk and anomalous behaviour before it escalates to large scale security incidents.  The following are supported and monitored by Nightfall for exfiltration activities,

* Attachments & Files
* Reports
* Records & Objects

Download of any of the above information containers is an exfiltration activity for Nightfall, and if such activities breach a threshold set in one of the exfiltration policies in Nightfall, then Nightfall will flag it an exfiltration event. You can configure which users should receive notifications and what automatic actions must be taken when an exfiltration event is detected. 

The detailed steps to configure the Salesforce Exfiltration policy is explained in the following documents.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.nightfall.ai/data-exfiltration-prevention/exfiltration_salesforce/policies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
