Salesforce continues to evolve the platform with stronger security defaults and more intentional developer controls. In this virtual session, Jefferson Oliveira will lead a developer-focused deep dive into preparing Salesforce orgs for API v67, with special attention to the latest SOQL security behavior and how teams should think about WITH USER_MODE.

This session is designed for Salesforce developers, technical architects, admins who work closely with code, and platform teams that want to make their orgs more secure, maintainable, and release-ready.

We’ll explore how developers can maximize Salesforce Platform features while also avoiding common upgrade issues. The discussion will cover what changes in Apex and SOQL security, how to identify code that needs review, and how to approach testing before upgrading classes or packages to API v67.

Salesforce documentation notes that Apex database operations now run in user mode by default, applying sharing rules, field-level security, and object permissions unless system mode is explicitly used. This makes the topic especially important for teams modernizing older Apex codebases.
