How to prevent certain fields from updating on SFDC sync?

Hi-
I'd like to prevent certain field in a SFDC Contact record from updating when synced with Marketo. I've read through the community postings and can't find anything that addresses this specifically for a contact type of record. I'd like to block updates to the name and possibly a couple other fields. Thanks.

There isn't a solution in Marketo.  You have to confiure the contact fields to be read-only for the marketo sync users WITHIN SFDC using the security rules

Cheers,
Eric

Hi Alisa,
I'm having the same exact issue where Marketo is updating the names of contact name fields in SFDC and I need that to stop immediately. As Emily had asked what rule did your SFDC admin put in place to change the value back if Marketo changes it?
