Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Valo.ai offers a security observability and event monitoring platform built specifically for the Salesforce ecosystem. The product ingests Salesforce activity and configuration data to surface security risks, permission gaps and misconfigurations, and provides alerts and remediation actions rather than requiring customers to configure and interpret raw event logs themselves. Stated capabilities include monitoring of connected apps, integrations, API and authorization landscapes, AI agents and user activity, a real-time security score, org health overviews with remediation plans, and usage analytics intended to identify unused licenses.

The platform is positioned for multiple roles on a Salesforce team, including administrators and platform owners. For administrators it emphasizes instant security insights, visualization of high-risk users, profiles and permission sets, and faster handling of access requests; for platform owners it emphasizes license cost reduction based on real-time usage data, breach prevention and predictive monitoring. Valo.ai is distributed via the Salesforce AppExchange and promotes a self-service setup described as taking about five minutes, alongside a booked-demo motion.
