Allianz Life Breach Hits 1.1 Million Customers via Social Engineering on Salesforce

A phishing campaign targeting sales teams exposed sensitive customer data such as emails, birthdates, and phone numbers through a Salesforce system.

Framework Failure Angle

Dependence on vendor CRM workflow and user behavior without doctrinal barriers means a single social engineering attack can escalate broadly. Frameworks lack enforced source-level data segmentation.

Zero Doctrine™ Positioning

Only with Zero Doctrine™ enforcement can data be compartmentalized:

• Use DNA™ to micro-segment customer data at creation

• Control CRM flows with TrustNet™ policy enforcement

• Deploy QuickStrike™ to lock down access once detection thresholds are met

Manuel W. Lloyd's Reaction

• “Social engineering may be subtle. Doctrine makes its impact obvious—and short-lived.”

• “When CRM is the front door, DNA™ must be the firewall.”

• “Breaches don’t cascade when doctrine stops them at the source.”
